This is a painting I made formakkapakka. Originally, it was supposed to be square format, so most of the motif is centered in the middle - but I don't own any square watercolor paper, so... I filled the rest of the format, too.
The size of the painting is A6 (postcard size). I used a variety of materials, here: the drawing was made with black fineliners including a broad chisel-tipped one. The coloration was done mainly with watercolors (different manufacturers), with some acrylics and acrylic pens for highlights and to correct "mistakes" (especially on the yellow pieces) where I accidentally overpainted. The white sparkle is acrylic ink.
I really like the result, and I think the next time I get postcards printed this will be one of the pictures... Because, clearly, I'm suffering from a lack of chess postcards. LOL
