"For Ulmo bore up Elwing out of the waves"
Added 2018-02-13 18:40:21 +0000 UTC"For Ulmo bore up Elwing out of the waves, and he gave her the likeness of a great white bird, and upon her breast there shone as a star the Silmaril."
Watercolour and gouache on Canson Vidalon paper, 26x35 cm.
I'm still wrestling the print file into submission; once I've got it, there'll be prints. ^^

I'm particularly pleased that the barnacles can be recognised as such; I had them much more detailed, and then washed out some of the colour again because they became too prominent. Gouache - everything that's bright white: many parts of Elwing, the detail on the fishes (it got lost because I couldn't mask them off exactly enough) and the two feathers (which I forgot to mask off) :)

The barnacles on Ulmo are quite brilliant, by the way, adding a piece of texture that makes the whole image pop better! What parts were done with/added to with gouache?
