Still working with the crows...

It's of particular interest to me that in Greek mythology crows and ravens were originally white, but turned black by Apollo... or Athena in some versions... and I'd had it in mind to paint something relating to that when I came across a rather lovely boy with an affinity for crows.

He has very kindly allowed me to use his photo and ideas from his own drawing for this painting, for which I am very grateful.

I suggest you check out his gallery... :iconendantee:

Watercolours and white ink on hot press watercolour paper.

Oh my gosh..this is just amazing. You know, this reminds of a book I read where the white crow was an omen of some sort...

The composition is stunning, and you did an excellent job of preventing a white/tint colour palette from getting boring. The subtle tone difference between his flesh and the crow's feathers is especially pleasing.
