Deliquescent Glow


3.25"x4.5"

Another gold leaf piece.   Varnishing sometimes enhances the contrast and saturation of the coloured pencil and wood, so I wanted to see how the gold reacted to being varnished.  Not too bad, doesn't change the surface too much.  If anything, it brings out the colour and contrast of the body so it's not overpowered by the gold...

Back to the dragon...
