Slowly but Surely with the Paper Mache



I did some painting last night and this morning on the possum and Basset hound. As with watercolor, they went through a very ugly stage, when the paint was flat and had no texture. But the more I work with the acrylics, alternating thinner and thicker glazes, the better they look. Being a fussy watercolor painter, I find the acrylics to be somewhat like painting with mud, but it's coming ... I'm learning ...
These two still need a lot of detail work and facial features, and the other three figures are waiting their turn. But, first, it is a GLORIOUS day, and I am going out to play with Bruno. :)
