Monas Detail

Scan of the central part of a drawing I made for Mona's 65th birthday (the rest of this rather huge painting is mostly filled with trees, cliffs , clouds and stars).

I worked on this almost round the clock for three days to get it done in time (spent the last fifteen minutes before my bus was leaving drying it with my hairdryer).

I whish I had been a little more observant and picked up on her birthday sooner since I'm not too happy about the background, it needed a bit more time in my opinion. Although in the cropped off foreground the trees are a lot(!) more detailed.

On the other hand I'm really pleased with the wings (for once!), all that practicing seems to be paying off a little. ^_^
Also, the return of the Monkey Island clouds! Wheeee!


Mediums: Watercolors, watercolor pencils and some gold gouache (not picked up by scanner).
