Blue Hair and the Piano – Giclee Embellished Faun Print 11×14 Limited Edition

Photograph of a watercolor and gouache painting print of a blue faun playing piano in a light rain. The faun sits at a ¾ angle, with a tranquil expression while looking down at his hands playing the keys below. Fireflies fly around him and illuminate the dark blue scene. A circular hoop of branches frames the faun and piano from the waist up, leaving only a portion of the top of the piano visible. The faun appears to be leaning towards the viewer with his torso slightly exiting the frame of branches. His long blue hair and twisting goat horns protrude outside of the branch frame, creating a feeling of depth and three dimensional space. Watercolor paints and brushes are placed on top of the painting across the bottom right. The print has a ¼ inch white border and is laying on top of a wooden backdrop. The fireflies have small sparkling black crystals for eyes, and their light has been embellished with golden paint. The rain has been painted with silver paint and is catching the light brightly. A piece of parchment paper with a story printed on it lays over top of the bottom of the print.

Description

Painting Process:

For the “Blue Hair and the Piano” faun painting, my process includes several steps. I begin with a sketch that I develop into a finished drawing using wax based archival colored pencils, and graphite. Next the drawing is scanned, then printed out at a low opacity onto hot press watercolor paper. Now the painting begins! Watercolor is the first layer to establish the mood, tones, and color scheme. Then I shift back and forth between oil based colored pencils and gouache to refine and render the painting. I strive to select vibrant and archival pigments throughout my process. Check out my listing photos to see examples of the paints, brushes, and other materials I used!

“Blue Hair and the Piano” Painting Story:

“The creature was definitely a “faun”. Aaron had seen the hominoid deer folk in his dream travels to the Terratoffian realm many times before, but he had never seen one quite like this. For it possessed particularly striking features. He considered all fauns a marvelous species to behold, but this one had a strange glamour about him, and an eerily human gaze. Cascading locks of rich blue hair tumbled down to his waist, all except the few tendrils that magically hovered round his faultless face.

The creature’s high cheekbones and piercing eyes of silver shimmered with unmistakable charisma and charm. Massive vertically spiraling horns resembling those of a great goat crowned his mighty brow. Though they looked heavy and powerful, the creature carried them with the same effortless ease in which he played his instrument. Seemingly unnoticing the young man gazing upon him, the faun continued to race his fingertips across the keys as the fireflies gathered closer to him…

Aaron watched in complete stillness, his eyes fixated on the creature that had yet to notice him. Despite the faun’s flawless countenance and poise, Aaron felt uneasy in its presence. However, when he saw the faun reach his hand towards one of the fireflies to let it rest in his palm, Aaron was at ease once more.

Then unprovoked it calmly said “I know you are watching…” with a coy and welcoming smile. While turning his head slowly towards the young man shivering between the trees he asked, “Won’t you come out and play?”
