Description
Colored Pencil. 18x24The Will o' the Wisp is the most common name given to the mysterious lights that were said to lead travelers from the well-trodden paths into treacherous marshes. The tradition exists with slight variation throughout Britain, the lights often bearing a regional name.
There are various explanations for the Will o' the Wisps, the most general being that they are malevolent spirits either of the dead or non-human intelligence. They have a mischievous and often malevolent nature, luring unwary travelers into dangerous situations.

That's only colored pencil? Amazing technique. It almost looks like an oil painting.

Thanks! It's many layers of prismacolor pencils, I think I killed more than a few of them to make this.
