I like to create an underpainting for my paintings to get a better sense of value before I start to add color. I’ll be working in traditional oils for this painting, but the principles here can also be applied to other mediums.

I’ll also be sharing how to use glazes to enhance color and create a jewel-like effect for your painting. I’ll discuss how to use an underpainting to achieve a lighting effect that captures form and volume. In this tutorial I’m going to be focusing mainly on painting technique. A nightscape filled with stars and clouds, and of course a moon will be essential to the background atmosphere. As the herald of the night sky, I will be illustrating Nótt holding a mazer of stars to sprinkle across the heavens on her journey. I plan on illustrating them as well, but since they didn’t fit the theme of this show I’ll have to save the pair for later. As the personification of day, he rides a white horse named Skinfaxi. She is seen riding her silvery maned black horse, Hrímfaxi, across the sky with her son (and foil), Dagr. In Norse mythology, the goddess Nótt is the personification of night.
There were quite a few that stood out to me, but one in particular who I knew I wanted to illustrate for this show. I have not explored much from Northern Germanic legend, and jumped at the chance to do a little research on some deities that I’m unfamiliar with. Mythology and folklore has always fascinated me. The theme of the show is Maidens of Myth. “Herald of the Night” Currently on display at the Norman Rockwell MuseumĮarlier this year I was asked to create a painting for the Enchanted Brush Exhibition at the Mazza Museum of International Art from Picture Books.
