Painting from Reference

Two of the main characters from the movie Lord of the Rings Trilogy. I used powdered charcoal,                        water color pencil, and water color.

Galadriel - Lady of the Light reference from google

I used charcoal on the hair of Galadriel, water color on the eyes and colored pencils on some area of the headdress/ crown.

Gandalf the grey and the reference from google

As for Gandalf, watercolor on the eyes and on the gray hair using detailing brush number zero (0). some classic colored pencil on the cheeks, but most of the area is powdered charcoal. 

Watercolor study

I used watercolor tubes on this art piece found in an art shop. I considered concentrated-- less water            as a technique to achieve oil painting-like texture.
