Description watercolor on print, 2008.3

I was raading "King Lear" by Shakespeare another day,
and thought it would be interesting to do his portrait.

I studied shakespeare at school and King Lear was one of my favourites. You captured the king pretty much as I had imagined Although lost in his madness his sanity comes back in a moment at the end. This looks like the sorrowful moment when he realises the beauty in his daughters heart was lost at his fingertips. Great work!

Great job, this is so full of emotion! Excellent choice of colours, I love how you've painted him as slightly ghostly and the way you've painted the hair.

I'm intrigued by the choices you made in regards to the construction of the character- What inspired the style of the crown and the color palette? It's beautiful, but certainly a unique interpretation of him
