An Artist at Work (Open RP)

[MechaMistress]

Calysta sat under a tree in Greatgaunt fiddling with a canvas strapped to a tabletop sized easel. She lay the canvas over her lap, and appraised what looked to be her first major project of any note. After several moments of inspection and she dug a hand into a backpack full of art supplies and dipped a fine feathered quill into a well of ink. She weaved and bobbed her head around the shadows of the shade above her, and with minuscule hand movements, added the finishing touch to her artwork. Back and forth, she would fill in small areas that needed a smudge more ink until finally passing a satisfied glance towards the square. To the common bystander, to finalized piece would look almost the same.

// Open thread for anyone who wants to interact with Calysta. Mostly planning on using this as a thread to collect her artwork. 

Drawings will be made by Mecha with respect to original photographers.

In Valkur's Roar, one of Calysta's project designs is being transferred to a theater backdrop. The work in progress is still primarily a rough sketch, however sections of crashing waves seem to fill in with more details as time goes on. 

edit: updated progress

The work on the theater backdrop continues, with efforts being made to finish the scene before the next rehearsal of Pirates in Wet Pants. The finalized project incorporates an array of bright blue dyes.

Frequent visits to the Alizarin Academy had inspired Calysta to attend more than the scheduled list of classes she held in her hands. Inbetween lectures, Calysta would visit the school's theater and sit in the back row admiring whatever activities went on that day. One particular harpist seemed to catch her eye, as Calysta worked on a charcoal and lead sketch over the course of several practice sessions. Most of the emphasis in this sketch was not on the stage itself or the harp... but the performer's dirge like emotion and body language as she played. When the work was finalized, a small satisfactory smile crept across Calysta's features.
