| After the last post, I dry-brushed some aureolin here and there. |
 |
| Then I mixed up a purply-brown and started dry-brushing the colors in their feathers with a mixture of burnt orange, violet and indanthrone. I also got serious about the anatomy and shadows of their legs. I used aureolin, burnt orange and indanthrone to get an almost-black olive green. |
 |
| Right now, I am continuing with the dry-brushwork on their feathers - this technique seems to work best for achieving that fluffy appearance. I think I'll put it aside for a bit, to let the colors set, and work on the tugboat painting. Thank you so much for dropping by! |
were loving those babies!

So sweet, and wonderfully painted!
ReplyDeletethe dry brush does seem to be working well in getting that fluffy look :) very nice shadows on their legs, really helps make them look 3D

I love these fluffy little Geese! You always give them such character... I think it's the way they are standing... Love them! :0)
ReplyDeleteYour breathing life into them, Kathryn; not sure what dry brushing means but it's obviously working. Love the vagueness of "...mixed up a purply-brown"
ReplyDeleteTug boat painting?... tug boat painting? you didn't mention this before ...show, show ...shhooowww :) I'm building boats (http://techssimboats.blogspot.co.uk/) and you don't mention your tug boat. :)
They're coming along so beautifully Kathryn. Love the work on the feathers!
