Original artwork description:

This is a dragon from the same Temple in San Chong, New Taipei City,that I have drawn in Ink before. All of the Temples in Taiwan have such beautifully coloured intricate tile and mosaic sculptures that I always want to add colour to these pictures. This piece was originally drawn from life in Ink and then I added colour in my Studio using thin layers of Acrylic Paint. After this I returned to the scene to add the final layers of Ink to the piece. As with any drawing “en plein air” the changing weather and light are always added challenges to accurately catching a likeness to a scene, and this one was no exception as the beautiful colours of this Temple glow and shine differently all throughout the day! This is another aspect of working from life that I find challenging and as I draw I will try to take photos and capture these different effects of light so that I can reference them when adding colour.
A note to International Buyers:
Shipping rates have increased in price all around the world due to Covid and other complications. Due to this I have had to increase the the cost of shipping my artworks in line with the Delivery Companies. I will always strive to find the cheapest possible option for the customer (usually my local POST OFFICE EMS Recorded Delivery, but unfortunately they don’t deliver worldwide at the moment) If the amount of shipping charged at purchase is less than the shipping company charges then I will refund the difference to the customer. This refund will be done after the picture has arrived safely and has been accepted.
Any import duties, taxes and charges that may be payable are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges, if applicable, will be the responsibility of the buyer. Please message me to check if this might affect your purchase.
