Brooch

Marcus & Co. (New York City, New York)

c.1900

This exquisite brooch is one of the few extant examples of plique-à-jour jewelry made by the New York firm of Marcus & Co., whose reputation at its prime rivaled that of Tiffany & Co. Herman Marcus (1828–99), a German–born and Dresden–trained jeweler, arrived in New York in 1850 and worked for a number of prestigious firms before establishing Marcus & Co. in 1892. Following his death, the company continued under the direction of his two sons, George Elder Marcus and William Marcus.

The brooch is a superb example of Marcus & Co.’s work in plique-à-jour enameling, in which the "cells" of color have no backing, allowing light to shine through the transparent enamel, thereby creating the effect of stained glass. One of the only jewelry firms of its day to succeed at this challenging technique, Marcus & Co. followed the lead of such innovative French designers as René Lalique. The sensitive 3-dimensional sculpting of the sweet pea blossoms and leaves, as well as the naturalistic coloring of the enamels, reflects the Art Nouveau aesthetic that prevailed at the turn of the century. Indeed, close parallels can be drawn with the brilliant naturalistic work of Louis Comfort Tiffany, whose oeuvre is so well represented in the Met’s collection.

Skintones tutorial is up now!!🫶🏻🫶🏼🫶🏽🫶🏾🫶🏿

200 pages on skintones, skin, and everything in between!

Skintones

Skintones + Color Fundamentals

Coloring Portraits Worksheet

(I generally rec the color fundamentals too cuz some stuff I don’t repeat in the skintones!)

I talk about how to color skin, color picking and blending modes but also how to not use either lol, tips on coloring skin, how 2 avoid whitewashing. Cel shading, painting, coloring any skintone in any style

3 PSDs have been provided along with 2 procreate timelapses and 3 skin tone palettes for procreate and CSP! With the screenshots of the palettes for any other program!

The portrait worksheet is 7 portrait lineart/inks that you can color/paint over. Some have guidelines that you can follow like planes of the face. Some stylized, some more detailed.

If this does well I’ll consider doing other worksheets cuz I think they are a fun way to learn!

are u ever sick w longing. and i don't just mean romantic longing. i mean longing for a place you barely get to see, longing for friends you no longer have, longing for feelings you might have left behind in your childhood, longing for creativity, longing for a rich and more expansive life, longing for less inhibition. longing for more passion. longing for ur life to be so incandescent w something it thaws all the frost in ur bones. are u ever so consumed w it it rends ur heart in two. do u understand me

Some more sillies!

Iskall: Unicorn, some distant earth pony blood though. Hes got a modified eye, powered by his magic.

Zedaph: Hes a sheep- I dunno, it felt right.

Stress: Shes an earth pony! Her wings are gifted, magic from Iskall! They have to be remade every now and then, but she doesnt fly too much so its not overly dangerous.

Wels: Hes a dragon! This one also just felt right.
