Art Journal - My favorite books - 3 - Harry Potter

The 3rd page of the series. This time it's about the Harry Potter books. I loved the series and had to do a page about it. The phoenix was the first thing that came to me when I thought about it. So here it is.

The video:


The picture:



Not long ago I bought the big case of the Faber-Castell Polycromos. I wanted to use them and test them out on a black background. So I used them on this page. Sadly they didn't shine as much as I had hoped for this page and needed something to paint over it. Gouache was my way of doing it, because I didn't want the shine acrylics would have had.
At first I wanted to paint the feathers in but I had some orange and red pattern paper on my desk. So why try to paint feathers, which I have never done before, when I could just cut them out and glue them on. They added abit of dimention and I know, had I painted them, they would never have given me the same result.

Hope you like the page. Let me know...
