Mini-Mural: Dragon - Completed!

Hello everyone! :) I apologize for not having posted anything in quite a long time. I just recently completed a mural of a dragon, and I think it looks really cool!

As you can see, I painted this mural over a door frame and was able to use the door frame to create a more 3-D look. I painted the tail and the claw directly on it, but in a way that it would look like it joined with the other parts of the mural seamlessly from any angle.

I thought a bright green would be a great contrasting color for the eye, in order for it to stand out. It turned out well!

To create the pile of gold the dragon is guarding, I used a metallic gold paint for the base. Once that was dry, I used a bright yellow for the gold pieces. I took a very small paint brush, and made small semi circles with the bright yellow paint. That way, when light shines on the painting, the gold background is lit up, but the yellow details add definition to the painting. 

Hope you have enjoyed my blog! :) Thank you very much!  Please comment and share!
