13 Goddesses Challenge - Week #2: CELTIC or NORDIC - CERRIDWEN

Helloooo!!

Here we go with our second week of the

13 GODDESSES CHALLENGE!

* CERRIDWEN*

Lately I am beeing fascinated by dark or old Goddesses.

Like Cerridwen.

She is a Celtic Welsh Goddess and Enchantress of Transformation, stirring in her cauldron a potion that grants wisdom and inspiration.

She is a Shapeshifter and a Goddess of Rebirth: she ate Gwion Bach, became pregnant and gave birth to the famous bard Taliesin.

The meaning of her name is controversial. It could be translated as either "Croocked Woman" or "White/Pure Woman".

You can read her story in 

THE MABINOGION

This time I remembered to take pics while drawing my goddess! :)

First I sketched her face in my handmade journal.

Then I started to create skin tones using watersoluble pastels and my (almost dead) paper blender.

Added the Cauldron.

Don't ask me why I chose these colors for her hair. It came to me that way. :)
Maybe it's for her double nature: death and rebirth.

Adding final touches.

And here she is!

What do you think?

If you like Fairytales, there is this course starting in July.
And Tam's class "Fabulous Faces" is a great start if you are a beginner with faces. I learned a lot!
