Adoration of the Magi – finalists

Most of you have been following my progress on the magi, but if you haven’t then this is my version of the Adoration of the Magi, which is a classical theme. I have attempted to do a piece after the manner of the romantic painters…

#1 high contrast

this version has highly saturated colors and a dynamic range of values

#2 rough sketch

this is really just a loose value study, to determine if I have a good flow of lights and darks

#3 impasto

while I like the thick painterly brushstrokes, this isn't the style the romantic painters used...

#4 watercolor

this reminds me of a watercolor study that the masters would do before starting on the final piece

  1. Great composition, great assembly of magis and also fantastic work from beginning to end. That is what I like to see and I am sure all of Virily also appreciates it.
