Mixed Media Drawing

For this illustration we were to create a watercolor illustration in which we were to use both aging varnish and cracking varnish to add texture and an aged appearance to our work. The original watercolor has wax crayon on the image to resist the watercolors and ink transfers to create a texture before the varnishes where applied. For the actual illustration itself, the bearded dragon subject was drawn in an aztec inspired style, as I felt it would pair nicely with the varnishes.
