Brush Tips: Maugan Ra

December 2022·pp. 84–87

THE SHORT VERSION

Connor studies earlier studio interpretations before separating Maugan Ra’s many black surfaces through different warm and cool highlights. Bone receives several natural hues, burgundy and teal provide restrained accents, and the Dark Reapers echo their founder’s palette, showing how careful material choices keep a sombre model rich in detail.

Winter Snows

A glowing blue foundation sits beneath patches of cracking earth and rough texture paint to suggest a frozen surface splitting above cold light. Successive dark washes and grey drybrushes join the materials, then extra blue and snow finish the effect, making the bases an active part of the lodge’s icy story.
