24” x 30” Mixed Media Canvas Update: dragon body art

So here’s how I got to the look I was happy with for the dragon body ….

1. Use palette knife to cover red with thick layer of black-purple

2. Use back end of pottery tool to carve through black-purple to red to create scales

3. Use orange for belly scales

4. Use lighter orange for highlight on belly scales

5. Use gold paint marker to highlight body scales

… and now do the same process for the other 4 areas. 🖌️
