Finally got a chance to come back to this western piece that had been stumping me for a while now. I was inspired by southwestern and South American textile and woven patterns for the color/texture of the background, plus the thematic idea of not being confined to a single box or frame also informed the composition. Work in progress, but I’m liking the direction so far ! . . #illustration #drawing #prismacolor #watercolor #painting #portraits #southwestern #western #cowboy #wip #masculinity #fronterizo #ranchero https://www.instagram.com/p/B9cOiGBlYZs/?igshid=2bnaatu5zeh8
