Awesome! The colors are beautiful and the composition is nicely done! :D

BTW, did you use masking fluid at all? Just curious.

Thanks Amanda :-)

I did not use masking fluid on this one. Since I wanted the whole image to be bathed in a yellow tint I first applied a cadmium yellow wash over the entire paper. I then painted the dragons and mountains on top with more sturated colours. To draw the round silhouette of the sun, I cut out a mask in tracing paper and used some coloured pencils and a bit of gouache.
