Inspired by Stravinsky

Tried out some of these gouache brushes from Kyle T Webster, and came up with some pieces inspired by "The Firebird" and "Petrushka", two Russian themes adapted into ballet scores by Igor Stravinsky at the beginning of the 20th century.


Somewhat Mary Blair-esque, but I also wanted to capture some of the bold colours of Russian folk art.

Throwback Thursday: Devils

Two distinct takes on the Prince of Darkness I created in 2012. Pure evil is attractive, but to quote Into the Woods: "though scary is exciting, nice is different than good."

Der Teufel (gouache)

Jimmy, or The Façade (pen and ink/watercolour)
