Title: Raven with the Sun
Date: 8/2022
Layers: 6
Catalyst: A visit to the museums in Anchorage Alaska sparked an interest in Inuit and Native Alaskan art. Simple imagery depicts many of the mythical and traditional beings found in this unique culture. The images were especially impressive in that they used only three colors: White, Black, Red. The traditional creation story culminates with the Raven returning the Sun to the world.

Challenge: Using only three colors, the layering process involved showing separate colors at the right time, skipping intervening layers to get the right effect.
