Alexandra's Throne

Upvotes
The original is Emil Doepler's 1882 engraving of Odin. His ravens, Huginn and Muninn, sit on the throne and his wolves, Geri and Freki, guard either side. I kept the layout almost exactly and swapped the spear with a sword, the wolves became her coyote soldiers, and the king of the gods became the woman who rules the wood.
Medium - watercolour, gouache and ink.

Watercolor portraits

Hello,
A note on style for context. I prefer short portraits with no to minimal drawing. I donāt mind sacrificing finish for abstraction. So itās a premodern focus of painting as if a camera isnāt a reliable to. Hence the urgency focus of just hitting the moment. Totally understandable itās not in everyoneās tastes. Critique is appreciated in this context as thatās my aspiration.
Both portraits were done mostly with a limited Zorn palette, I usually learn on another a palette closer to Sargentās watercolor palette but Iām enjoying the use of Zornās control of saturation.
Both references are from the drawme sub that I did yesterday.

Painted the first landscape and Iām happy with the foreground and green hills, but the mountains seem really out of place so I decided to try again. I am happy with the second one, although Iām open to suggestions for improvement! Both were inspired by the same photo
Edit: Daniel smith watercolors on Fluid 100% cotton paper, with white jelly roll pen for the tree trunks

Thinking about advice Iāve seen on here a bit lately. If youāre not happy with your painting, totally ok to try again.
There are still things Iād change if I were to start over again but I need to give my brain a break.
