Magical Creature from Urbino

It is good to copy and learn from the artist. This small dragon, as I called it is a little beast out of an old Italian book on magical creatures that inhabited the capital first letters of old Bible texts and other important books. I did learn a lot and the creature has its likeness to the original.

Mostly I loved mixing exactly the right colours of the blues, blue greens and greens. Would love to design one myself. Will do good time and many a copying, I suppose.

The Toothbrush on the Teck

This small group of pine trees is called the Toothbrush and has been drawn by me many times as it can be found on a small vulcanic mountain in Germany where my partner goes flying model planes. If you look closely you can see a small plane on the right in the right making a start to land.
Having used a minimal palet of greens the strange effect of the fotograph has helped to create the Macintosh like image you see.
