Painting One of Two



So I wish I could post more, but things have been insanely busy and with the show coming up, there is just no time. Anyways here is a Painting I did of Medusa for the show. I've done two paintings of this image and here is the first. This is from Persus's view, the intensity of taking the head of such a montser. The other is from Medusas view, it's a little darker and not as glamorous, ill post it later. Hope to see you all at the show, check the flyer for times and directions.

Adele K Thomas said...

Nate said...

Jo Bling - Thanks man for the positive feedback, i was real skeptical of this one, but people see to like it.

Adele - I'm so glad you like it, I used a combination of Consentrated watercolor and gouache, and some pen and ink.
