| I am here, and it is starting to look like Buddy |
With the first "Buddy", I got to a point where the brown points looked too dark and orange, so I started again. The flip side will be used for a trial of another idea I want to pursue about my farrier. In retrospect, the original would probably have worked, with a bit of careful lifting here and there, but it's all a learning experience. I'll be working on the head details now. I don't quite like his left leg; I think if I "mould" his body color a bit more, it will look more like a leg than a flipper. Any ideas??
I think this is coming along great, love watching you bring it along, and I agree, when you bring in more of the body you can chisel out that left leg beautifully, can't wait to see it all come together.
ReplyDeleteIt is coming along really nice!
ReplyDeleteLooking very good! My girl sometimes holds a paw like that - natural for me to see and not think flipper.
ReplyDeleteBut - tell you what will make it - the shadow you paint. Shadows can make a painting. I wouldn't be worrying yet - this is looking brilliant so far.
Hello Kathryn, so nice of you to stop by my blog. I think you are a wonderful artist. I had a dog that looked just like your Buddy, his name was Randy. Look forward to chatting with you. I wanted to share a way to remove unwanted watercolor paint if you make a mistake....it's with the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser "Original" one. It works beautifully to remove unwanted elements and leaves a nice clean white area you can repaint or leave white if you want the light.
ReplyDeleteIts good to see people from different walks of life take to the joys of painting. Great work. Keep posting.
ReplyDeleteI admire your perseverance in obtaining the right painting. So far looking very good. Keep it up.
