Description Maedhros

Watercolour and colour pencils on paper.

After Nerdanel in ferns, I wanted to paint Maedhros similarly.Ā 
First, I painted irises as a background, as this was the plant I thought would suit a warrior. But it didn't work: irises were nice on their own, but didn't cooperateĀ  So I washed them off and replaced with ivy which can mean the bind of the oath or its poison, or whatever.

You really did the leaves behind him well to frame his portrait! And I also particularly like the way his hair is painted, the shades, the colour shifts and all.
