"Mountain Man"
7" x 5" Gouache on Illustration Board
I painted this in Gouache, an opaque watercolor medium that I started to hate and then grew to love. I painted this as if I had been standing just across the spring water and I shouted,
"Hey! Look over here!"
And by dang he did.
Now in real life I would probably have been shot and just left. The nice thing is that "Artists License" allows a lot of fantasy. He is wearing a beaver fur cap and a blanket coat or "Capote" torn from a 4 point black stripe on red Hudson's Bay Blanket. |
