Rowland Wilson at Disney – 1
- Bill Peckmann has sent me an incredible cache of photostats. These are watercolor paintings Rowland B. Wilson did while working for Disney. There are two groups of paintings: one for The Hunchback of Notre Dame, one for Hercules.
These were all inspirational sketches, and they’re all extremely long. Consequently, I’m posting them in batches. The first comes from Hunchback, and I’ll post the full sized image, then break each down into a couple of parts so that you can appreciate the incredible detail Rowland did in these things.
I hope you enjoy them.

The presentation of these is really impressive. It’s wonderful to see the structure of the composition yet also get a close look at the detail and technique.
(I also fall more in love with him!)
