Guinevere and Lancelot - 2
118. GUINEVERE & LANCELOT, 2 - A black ink and black color pencil drawing on an 11 x 14 size coquille board. It appears in the booklet, "Guinevere & Lancelot And Others," by Arthur Machen, published in 1986 by Purple Mouth Press (Cuyler W. Brooks, Jr.)
If you look at the top of the drawing you will see a stone-framed opening that is supposed to be part of a castle wall, but it appears here floating in empty space…
When I came to that part of the picture I intended to include the castle wall to fill in the empty space. But I hesitated, looked at it a while and decided to leave it as is, to help keep the viewer's eyes concentrated on the battle. That's called, "artistic license". It is a common practise in the world of illustration.
