A reflection of a dreamer, a traveller in mind, through the pages of books and news stories. One's imagination and experience of life through stories, wanders far afield through a rich landscape,.. This narrative piece was created in stages in mixed media, ink drawn with a dip pen, silverleaf and oil paint.
The silver metal leaf in the original was only laid after inking in the drawing with a dip pen (which I love for creating sensitive dimensional lines). This was then sealed well with a permanent UV-Resistant Acrylic coating for added UV protection for the ink and to keep the silver from tarnishing in the future. The oil paint was then painted alla prima, being careful to not cover up the raw quality of the inked lines as much as possible for a fresh expressive look.
