The Adorant I ©Leslie Peterson Sapp

This is the the smaller of two versions of The Adorant. They are based on a fresco in ancient Akrotiri, which is modern day Santorini. To emulate the effect of the fragmented frescos, I slathered fiber paste and molding paste over heavy watercolor paper. When this was dry, I drew and painted the figures, I then tore the image up, and reassembled it on a panel. To read more about my technique, click HERE to read my blog entry about it.
