Dragon, commission in progress, by Amy Crook

Dragon, commission in progress, by Amy Crook

Just a little work in progress today, a teaser of the textured skin on Molly’s oil-painted dragon. It’s taken ages to get even this far, since I have to let the thick scales dry between painting sessions or I just smear them when I’m working elsewhere, and I still have his hoard, the details on the forest, and even his face to finish. Or is it a her, in the rich warm purples and blues? The paint I’m using is iridescent, which makes the whole dragon shine on the canvas, especially with the extra physical texture of the impasto.

    I’m not a TOTAL tease, though there’s still a lot of work to be done… It’ll make its way to you someday ♥
