One of my newer creations, once again using acrylics. This painting was made purely to try new techniques, including gel gloss, sponges, as well as retardant. I actually like how quickly acrylic dries so I usually only use retardant on large scale paintings. My inspiration came from medieval tapestries and the art of Eyvind Earle. You probably know him from his work on Disney's Sleeping Beauty. The whole painting just turned into a collage of me throwing things onto the canvas and seeing what worked. The hardest part was deciding what should and shouldn't be flat as it's not meant to look realistic but there still needs to be appeal.
