Today's objective was to make something that looks historical and figured (with St. Patrick's Day coming up) I would go Celtic today. (That's kel-tic not selltic!) I've done a few paintings so far inspired by illuminated manuscripts and I consulted my references again for today's piece. I began with a small piece of watercolor paper and literally scrubbed it with a distressing ink pad. Then, I drew the design in pencil and pen before painting it with fluid acrylics. Lesson learned: even something as simple as this makes me appreciate the artists who worked on those intricate illustrations for such works as the Book of Kells. God bless!
Well done! love love it!
