Gildenvern • Personal Work, 2015
This piece began as a test for me to practice gold leafing techniques with Sophie Klesen (AKA somk) at World Con last year, in London. I had a great time and learned a lot, but never got around to finishing it… until yesterday afternoon, partially driven by not having created any new art in a while, I sat down with my watercolors and my new paint brushes with the goal of knocking it out in one sitting. This is the result.
(Had I given myself more time, I probably could have managed more details here and there, but it is what it is and what it is is finished so I’m not going to stress the small things overmuch. Besides, I think it looks cool, even if the gold leaf got eaten by the scanner. As usual. You can get a better idea of what the leaf looks like over here.)
Gold leaf, watercolor and white ink on 9”x12” bristol board. Original is for sale; drop me a line if interested!
