Dragon Depections Vary

The vast majority of people never had seen a dragon and their renderings are based on secondhand accounts and hearsay.

Red Welsh Dragon Egg, 16" (41cm)

Finding unattended red dragon eggs are extremely rare.

Dragon Fire

Of all the dragon species only the Dracorexus family is able to “breathe” fire. The dragon’s ability to breathe fire is actually a misnomer. More accurately, the dragon spits fire. Dragons are able to secrete a highly volatile liquid in a gland behind the mandible. The dragon is able to spit this liquid up to 100' (31m). Once in contact with oxygen, the liquid quickly oxidizes and bursts into flame. This attack is only possible about once a day, and usually as a last resort defense, allowing the dragon to escape a dangerous situation.

DEMONSTRATION

GREAT WELSH RED DRAGON

Gather up as much reference as you can for your painting before you begin. Make a list of each of the elements you want to include:

• Massive wingspan

• Maritime habitat

• Breathing fire

• Coloration and markings

• Body design and wing anatomy

I have always envisioned dragons as animals that could fly. Use references of large birds like the albatros to conceptualize how they would look while flying.
