I really needed something very bright and different to work on while I was finishing Carmella. I have NO idea why I decided on lobsters, but they are quite alien-looking [yes, I am a devoted science fiction fan] So I did a bit of research on the computer, found some good photos, and did a sketch. This particular lobster is an American yellow lobster - VERY rare, one in thirty million.
I have two more on the board to paint, and can hardly wait to let the paint fly! It feels great to get away form my usual controlled style of painting. I hope you like Lenny as much as I do. Let me know what you think!
I love your lobster tutorial and your very controlled, layered style of painting Kathryn. It's such a different approach than mine, as I hardly ever go over something, unless it's with some dry brush, once it's dry on the paper.
ReplyDeleteAnd Wow, One-in 30 million - I wonder how they came up with that number!? :=D
Love your lobster - and how fab you painted such an unusual one! xx
ReplyDeleteI love Lenny!! He does look cute in an alien, lobster kind of way! GREAT work Kathryn! It shows in your work that you had fun with this. :)
