I Had the Blues, Today
With the crappy weather. I spent a few hours today, between naps, trying to work on some scroll blanks. Here is one based on the Luttrell Psalter, with safely placed archers, with the first layer of ultramarine blue applied and half way through the 2nd layer.
As I have written before, and taught to other scribes, I prefer to use very thinned down coats of paint. Yes, it means that I have make more passes, but each layer dries very, very fast. I also have better control on the final appearance and can avoid blotchy images.
