Pouring The Boy King

I'm experimenting again with the pouring technique, so I get it firmly fixed in my brain. This time using a painting done some good few years back as a reference.
The original Rest In Peace, I painted many years back, when all things Tutankhamun were very popular. His mask got painted in shades of black and grey, with the only recognisable blue and gold on his face, being the tear he wept.  A tear, because he would never rest in peace.


 
So, here is the new drawing, complete with some masking.



At this point I don't have a definite idea of how this will turn out, but I am trying to make the effect of a sandstorm brewing up around the Boy King.

  1. I don't understand what "pouring" means, exactly. Your step by steps are very helpful though! Please keep posting and teaching! Thanks!

  2. Sorry Katherine, I should have explained. Pouring is mixing your watercolour in a little dish and literally pouring the paint onto the paper. No brushes required :)

  5. This will be interesting. I have always liked Egyptian 'stuff'. I have an Egyptian quilt hanging in my Creation Station.

    I look forward to seeing this progress.
