Day 7: Queen Tink


 Several people have requested dragonflies from me. This isn’t exactly what they meant, but it’s a start.  I will be doing a whole collection of straight-up dragonflies soon. I think this lady might be Tinkerbell’s mom. 

Below is a glimpse into my process. I use painter’s tape to secure the feather to a piece of cardstock and then rough in the shape of my object with white paint (with the addition of whatever extra color I have on my palette for shading to help me keep track of the major interior shapes). I layer the basic colors of the painting on top of the white, then add detail, and finally add shading and highlights with thinned-down black and white. 




Length of Feather:  6 3/4”
