Thomas Boatwright’s Rocky Balboa Watercolor
Thomas Boatwright is back again this week [just as promised]!
Thomas recently ran a watercolor sketch sale and I jumped on board for a couple. Thomas came up with the idea of bookending the Rocky series. Here is his take on Rocky. The watercolor above is his riff on Rocky Balboa. Great idea by Thomas and I love the way the art turned out.
If you’d like to see more of Thomas Boatwright’s art check out his blog and his DA site. Send him some love.
If you get commissions, you should consider a piece from Thomas. He keeps you totally in the loop on his progress, finishes his commissions on or ahead of schedule, has very reasonable prices, is a fantastic artist and always gives you more than you’re expecting! – Craig
