Pituitary Gland –  Watercolor and Digital

Human anatomy is a subject of endless variety both visually and scientifically. The angles, values, and undulating forms within this painting are designed to create a sense of interest and depth while emphasizing the main subject. The pituitary gland, with its anterior and posterior portions, is offset against other brain base anatomy included in the picture. The yellow structure crossing in front of the gland is the optic chiasm which connects the optic nerves.
