Busy December, Beowulf Outline

December has been one busy month.  I did find time to finish going through Beowulf picking out scenes that I want to illuminate.  I have 37 picked out and I'm currently drawing on number 19.  My plan is once I have all the scenes drawn out I'll start placing them on mock up pages with text to see if I need to add in any extras and just what it's going to start looking like.

Back to Beowulf Project.

Playing with drawing and painting in the style of Cotton Claudius B.iv again. I haven't run across swords or helmets painted in the manuscript, as where I have found them, they are on unfinished pages and are just inked. Skin tone is also up in the air. Where I have found it is in the dealing with Adam & Eve and their being cast out, and then they are painted white.
