The Weird Sisters

"When shall we three meet again--
In thunder, lightning, or in rain?"

"Upon the heath"

"There to meet with Macbeth."

"Fair is foul, and foul is fair:
Hover through the fog and filthy air."

Private commission - based on Shakespeare's MacBeth. © - 1989.

Watercolours, gouache and felt tip. A4 - 295mm x 210mm.

Strictly speaking, this does not belong in this gallery as it's not my usual 'style'. It had to be done in a hurry (it took three hours) and so I used a completely different technique. Unlike most of my work, there was no initial pencil sketch and no airbrushing. Any sketching was done directly using watercolour paint. Another image that is grainy due to it's 35mm slide source.

The image is slightly inaccurate as I'm sure an aficionados of 'The Scottish Play' will spot. On MacBeth's first meeting with the witches, (that's him in the background) he was accompanied by Banquo. Nothing like a little artistic license......
