Inch by Inch Tuesday






Here's my entry into Paris' Inch by Inch art (click on the link in the sidebar for details if you would like to participate). This week's theme is: Courage

The elusive Unicorn is regarded as a symbol of Courage. Traditionally, he resembles a horse with a spiral horn, a billy-goat beard, a lion's tail, and a goat's cloven hooves.

I've used watercolour paper, the rainbow is done in conte crayons (very much like pastels). The unicorn is white, outlined in sharpie marker. You can click on the picture to see a larger image.

Hi Christine. Love you inch by inch. I TOTALLY forgot about unicorns. =) Thank you for participating again. This is so much fun and exciting to see what others come up with.

Have a good day!

Great unicorn! I especially like the position you put him in -- very powerful! I am going to look in to the crayons you mentioned, sounds like a fun new medium to try out!

unicrons? Great idea. hadn't thought of that. Very cool.

I'm so glad you not only participate but you even include your thoughts on it afterwards.

Yes, those crayons are very nice. I need some more!

Ah, unicorns... I think it might be easier to be brave if I had a horn, hmmm, wonder where I can get one...
