Josey's Art School #30 Healing Wings Beginner Art Journal Pages Healing Heart

 

Wings in old paintings are like secret code words. Artists used them to show that someone was an angel, a messenger from the sky, or a magical creature like Pegasus. [1]
Fun Facts About Painted Wings
  • Bird and Angel Mix: Many artists painted angels with big bird wings. They used real bird feathers as models to make the wings look soft and heavy.
  • Rainbow Colors: Angels did not always have white wings. In old art, artists painted them with bright red, blue, and gold feathers to show they were full of light.
  • Magic and Power: Greek myths used wings to show fast movement. Artists gave shoes or backs to characters to show they could fly above the cloud
