Hope you like! I have to say, I find this one pretty fascinating. You can really tell the difference now that I'm working from reference for the final stages too - so much more 3D effect!

Painting timelapse: Gil-galad

Gil-galad was an Elvenking, of him the harpers sadly sing: the last whose realm was fair and free between the mountains and the sea. (J. R. R. Tolkien) Painted with watercolour and gouache on 20x40 Etival cold-pressed paper.

I really love this one (ok I really love all of them, but this is so beautiful!) It's definitely very 3D! The video is amazing, I love seeing it all come to life like that. Is the white paint that you use gouache? I usually use a white gel pen, but I have trouble getting it to run smoothly, and wonder if I should give white gouache another go.

I tried white gel pen as well, with the same limitations you noticed - they tend to clog up (especially on watercolour) and there's just a certain thickness of line to them. I use Talens ecoline opaque white, which is more liquid than regular gouache but has the same effect.

It's so wonderful to see your process! This piece is very fine, indeed.
