Poured Acrylic Ainur: Faces from Tolkien

Here are four works inspired by JRR Tolkien’s Silmarillion, created in poured acrylic. I add the faces and details once the pouring stage is complete.

Uinen

Morgoth and Manwë

To paint Morgoth, I used black india ink and pouring medium with yellow, red and metallic gold paint, so that the Mightiest of the Dwellers in Arda catches the light and sparkles. Manwë is a little more subtle, but there’s a hint of shining bronze in the darker shades around his blue and cloudy form.

Aulë, the Great Smith

Uinen, Morgoth and Manwë are painted on boxed canvasses 20cm wide and 51cm tall. Aulë is on a boxed canvas 30.5cm wide and 25.5 cm tall.(The box is about 1.5cm deep)
