Chinese Lion Guards

Posted on September 14, 2018 by dkatiepowellart


We get such interesting projects in the studio.
These pocket-sized Chinese Lion Guards were beautiful after treatment.


I drew her in De Atramentis Document Brown ink.

After grisaille work in Lexington Grey ink, I began layering watercolors.


Posting images taken with flash and not (top), as the colors played out quite differently.
