Description Labyrinth Tarot- 1 The Magician
watercolor on cold press paper
Art by silvermoon822

The magician symbolizes the ability to direct your energy towards your goals. Obviously, this dude doesn't want her to get her baby brother back and is gonna watch her like a hawk. er...owl.

I really like the colors that were used to make the background. A combination of a deep blue with burnt umber really creates a nice dark color that is not quite black, so it doesn't lose any of the richness that color brings. The lack of color on his hair was another thing that I think turned out really nice. Utilizing negative space really helps to keep it from disappearing into the background while still telling you "this is blonde". 

I'm not really painting these in order. I'm painting these in the order that I come up with designs. However, I will complete the major arcana before starting on the minor. 

so, up next! The Hierophant!

I LOVE your painting..by curious the symbolism that made you choose to darken his left eye?

Not so much symbolism as aesthetics. The way the shadowing worked here allowed for a more dramatic look that I figured looked really nice with the colors on the background. It adds to the mysterious look I was going for
