Evernote 2024 – Day Nine – Blade

I admit I took the easy way out for today’s prompt, Blade. The sword in the stone motif has the advantage of other figures being optional.

Then I blew it by experimenting with time-consuming techniques. One problem I frequently have with my paintings is they tend to be a little flat tonally. Because of this, I’ve been playing with preliminary gray scale washes.

I’m happy with how this turned out. The only problem is I think It needs more time to dry. There were a few spots where the paints were mixing too much.
