Stand on a pile of broken crowns and keep going, there are still some left.
This watercolour painting with complementary contrast is one of those that I think about a lot but never really know how to execute - the idea is quite poignant so I think, maybe use one of those clean, illustrative styles like for magazines. However, I enjoy the characteristics of physical media. Or stick with the digital painting I know best? What to do, what to do. Anyway, I used watercolours on wet-stretched A3 Bristol carton - not ideal, honestly - employing a fairly blue Neutral Tone by Winsor&Newton, Daniel Smith Indanthrene Blue, and Mijello Peacock Blue, opposed by Daniel Smith Quinacridone Gold, Winsor&Newton Sepia, and Jaxon Burnt Umber. When the face became too difficult to control, I erased most of it and covered the area in watercolour medium to finish it.
I am disturbed by the idea of nobility. That people flock towards visiting royals and wouldn't give up their monarchy is beyond me. Being ruled, in whatever capacity, by someone "chosen" for that position by the accident of birth? How is being ruled by money-havers any better?

A3, watercolours on paper.
