RAVEN AGAIN!


I made this one up for a CROW/RAVEN swap on a UK Yahoo group.

The only criteria was that we were to hand draw the crow/raven.

He is painted with Golden's Carbon Black onto a painted background,using watercolour paper.

I printed out the black and white paper borders, and also the yellow spotted hat, which began life as a picture of a paper cup.

The eye was cut out of a magazine.

Seems I couldn't help myself....he turned out Zetti-ish!

First to answer your question Barb:
I use iridescent glitter. I brush it onto the wet finish on the wings before they dry.
