Here is my latest ACEO
inspired by the Hopi Kachinas
Supernatural entities or spirits capable of influencing the natural world.
The men of the tribe dressed and masked to represent the Kachinas in traditional dances/ceremonies. Their belief is that such dancers actually become the spirits they represent for the duration of the ceremony.

I really enjoyed creating this ACEO
The colours are bright and lively. I used watercolours and pigment ink to outline the areas

I hope to create some more of these
