Another scroll blank done


This is a scroll blank inspired by Engelberg, Stiftsbibliothek / Cod. 4 f.48  
It only took me about 3 hours to do it: the composition was very simple and the pallet was only five colors. The man (who looks to be having the worse case of acid reflux ever) required minimal shading to result in something close to the original. I left out the smaller figure; there was something unsettling about it. Perhaps it was the image of a large guy, who was puking out a rainbow, standing on the bowed back of a smaller person.

The scroll was made with Reeves gouche on Arches 140# hot-pressed cotton paper and finished with ink.
