Don Quixote and Sancho Panza

Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, are the main characters of "Don Quixote de la Mancha", one of the most important works of universal literature. With ingenuity and a beautiful madness, they travel the world giving us a rich and fun adventure to read. In his honor, and in gratitude to the Cervantes team for the support he has given me in Steemit, I made this painting. Hope you like.

Meaning

---

I made a twilight to give a touch of my twilight city (Barquisimeto-Venezuela), and painted the silhouettes with a starry sky, as a symbol of the magic that these characters contain.

---

Elaboration process

---

Twilight

---

I first added a layer of blue ink to give it a dark tone at the top. Next I added the red vermilion color to begin the gradient of the twilight.

---

---

I added the yellow taking advantage of the humidity of the paint to combine them on the canvas, and I added more and more clear yellow tones to the lower part of the canvas.

---

---

Silhouettes

---

For the silhouettes I used a dark blue tone that would serve as the basis for the starry sky. Then, I added a faint light blue to give it striking.

---

---

Stars

---

For the stars I used a technique with a toothbrush. I covered the twilight areas so as not to damage them, and carefully, I added the sparks of white paint. It was really fun.
