Allegory of Ink and Paint

Description

An illustration of how I see art and the act of creating it. It's flowing, bright, graceful, gritty, messy, joyful and beautiful.

Really used this piece to get back into experimenting with watercolor. I've never particularly liked the medium, honestly. I always found it fickle and didn't like how little control I had over it, or limited manipulation it allowed. But for some reason recently I just got this overwhelming urge to get my hands on old-school art mediums and feel the flow of paint bristles on a canvas; I had some old watercolors lying around so I broke those out.

Sketched out with Sketch & Wash pencil, tied down the shading with that and added the watercolor over top. I really like the splatter effect with this medium and I was experimenting with how that works...don't think I quite succeeded but I've been looking up tips. Would like to use that in another piece somewhere along the line. :)
