Bewitched by Starlight | Original Watercolor & Gold Leaf

$1,000.00
Only 1 available

This spectacular vision of Halloween magic combines my favorite holiday and time of year with the mystical and elegant stylization of Art Nouveau! A Wiccan Priestess shrouded in a purple cloak cradles a grinning pumpkin as a glowing lantern swings from her wrist. This beautiful witch is a marriage of mystical and fantasy, as well as a tribute to the master of Art Nouveau himself, Alphonse Mucha.

Featuring watercolors, coffee stain, pastels, white ink, black ink, and genuine 24kt gold leaf, this All Hallow’s Eve fantasy illustration is comprised of many hours and a great deal of love.

This painting will be sold unframed, but absolutely must be displayed behind glass, and away from direct sunlight. Please scroll down for more information.

Close up of artist desk with messy watercolour palette and brushes laying on an incomplete watercolor painting. The art is an Art Nouveau Inspired witch wearing a cloak. A thick braid falls over her left shoulder while she cradles a pumpkin.

Painting in Progress - Blue masking fluid helped me keep small details clean while painting watercolor washes to create a base layer of color.

Close up of partially completed Bewitched By Starlight with the artist's hand painting the witch's hair with a very small paint brush. The background is full painted but the witch is blank except for her hair. Watercolor masking fluid protects detail

Painting in Progress - Tiny brushes are always a necessity for my work!
