Byzantine Infant

I have frequently have used images of my son for paintings and drawings. Being a lover of art history, the Byzantine Madonna in the background was meant to be an invisible prescence watching over my son and keeping him safe. The drawing style varies between the picture of my son to the image of the madonna, one fairly realistic, the other somewhat illustrative looking.

This was created on 300lb watercolor paper, covered with a light blue wash, and then the drawing was added. It was only after I thought I was done, that I decided to add the tissue paper texture at the top of the drawing.
