This Picture of a wizard is a very basic fantasy image and is based on a couple of factors: that I'd not done anything in the style of this most basic fantasy cliche in 16/17 years and that I felt the need to try something in colour. The wizard, though dressed in grey, was painted without any grey paint except for the beard, rather the clothes are made up of layers of blue, green and purple, inspired in part by the work of many impressionist artists, and, strangely enough, Picasso and Goya, two great artistic heroes of mine.
