Chinese Lantern Study

This was a simple exploration of a dry papery texture. I have a few of these I need to post from things gathered from my Autumn hikes. I learn so much from these studies that I am able to apply to the mythological art.

Artist Notes

• Damp on damp altering colors to create papery texture
• Use light and dark lines to create veining texture
• Authentic vermillion pigment as key warm red hue
