Posted thissketch before HBP came out, with the promise that I'd do a poll on how I should render it. So what's your opinion? Let me know! :~) And a comment with the reason for your choice would be nice too. ;~D
It's just such a rich subject matter; it seems to want some kind of deep medium. So I picked oils, because I have a weird connection in my head between oil paints and depth. I have no idea why that should be so. ;)
Yes, oils give a painting wonderful depth and nothing can match them for richness of colour. They don't reproduce very well though, hence the general avoidance among illustrators for art that is being printed. But, I must admit, I rather fancy doing this one in oils.
