Another piece done in traditional airbrush (model - Thayer Chandler) in a flat graphic-style back in the day. Gouache was used at the time. It was the preferred medium that was easy to clean but very delicate on the cold press illustration board. If you landed a drop of water on it, it would leave a ring of saturated colour that was impossible to get out. You basically had to mask the section of artwork, lift the paint with water from the board, & re-paint the section. The art was to be an advertisement for the Detroit Zoo and was one of the first paintings I did after completing the colour theory class. Ahhh, the good ol' days!
