Bewitched by Starlight | Original Ink Drawing & Gold Leaf
Sometimes, less is more! This is the original line art for my Bewitched By Starlight watercolor illustration. Inked between heartbeats, I also embellished the art with a coffee stain border, genuine 24kt gold leaf, and just the tiniest bit of graphite.
The result is an exquisite showcasing of my line art. I always feel I lose a little something when I paint over my lines. I also grew up admiring my mother’s art books filled with black and white wonders from the Golden Age of Illustration, so maybe I just prefer the stark beauty of black and white art.
I can say without a doubt this ink drawing is one of my masterpieces and parting with her is bittersweet, but I have a bad habit of never displaying my own art. This lovely Samhain Goddess is deserving of a home that will place her on a wall for daily admiration, and not sealed away in a cold dark drawer with the rest of my portfolio.
