Al Fresco Art Club Challenge: Paint an Album Cover
/My watercolor version of the album art for Vince Guaraldi’s Essential Standards, 2009
Toay’s art club challenge was to look for inspiration in album cover art. I happened to see an impressive black and white photograph on the cover of Vince Guarldi’s Essential Standards (2009). I was impressed with the upward-looking perspective that make his hand and sleeve look gigantic. Guarldi’s marvelous mustache is always charming.
For paint I used Holbein Irodori watercolors. These paints are all semi-opaque, but they don’t hide the ink lines, except for the black, which is almost like India ink.
