Queen of the Nile

Finally finished it. I drew most of it while we were camping....and then got stuck on it when we came back home...Luckily I came across a photo that a friend and talented artist Dawn Schmidt- Ventimiglia sent me while back of Egyptian scenery. The pillars are based on the photo. Thank you Dawn! I also uploaded the image before I added the gold acrylic glaze. I hope you like it!

The addition of the gold acrylic glaze has astonoishing results! It the whole thing washed lightly in the acrylic, or are those just highlights? Is there some other fixative you're using to protect the pencil? What paper (or surface) do you work on?
