Graphite, Shellac, Ink & Acrylic on Paper

Echos in the Storm began as a graphite drawing done from life. I wanted to challenge myself to experiment, so I shellac'd it, added washes of burnt umber acrylic paint and blue-green ink, and then used white acrylic paint for highlights. With the new atmosphere of the piece, it echoed a feeling mystery, and felt like the figure was emerging from a storm.
