Midsummers Eve Dream


Midsummers Eve Dream
Artwork created for my Illustrated Book of Shadows, [link] the magic of the summer solstice and the blurring of the two worlds of spirits and humans that comes about on this evening. The drawing is made with a full range of graphite pencils, kneaded eraser, metal stylus. smudging stump and a whole lot of patience. The piece measures 16 x 22 on a hundred percent rag, hot press watercolor paper from Arches Paper.

The reference photo for the Horned One is from [link] the reference photos for the two ferries are from [link] and finally the reference photo for the reclining figure is from the book Art Models by Maureen and Douglas Johnson. I scanned the original drawing on a flatbed scanner in eight separate pieces and then use Photoshop image merge to combine them back into one document. I also converted the piece from grayscale to RGB color and added a little red and yellow to sepiatone the image. As in all drawing projects, I learned a great deal from this piece as well as compiled a list of things to continue to work on. Particularly that of rendering the elusive characters of ferries.
