Between Three Pillars
This drawing is on 7x10in mixed media paper. It was drawn with a felt tip pen and colored with water color.
Under the Blood Red Moon started with one goal in mind. I wanted to draw more pillars with drapery. I started this theme in The New King. It was satisfying to draw the wrinkles and paint the shadows in the folds I wanted to try it again. I don’t think that I was quiet as successful in making the pigment varied on the drapery this time.
Under the Blood Red Moon is another time I have been disappointed with the way the subtlety of water color is lost when it is digitized. Much of the detail in the original is de-saturated or altered in the scan.
The best part of this drawing is the concept. I liked the idea of the pillars but had felt like they needed a purpose. So I put geometric solids on the tops of the them.
