| THIS is what I LIKE! A nice soft and supportive background. I mixed some gold and indanthrone, painted along the outline and scrambled it outwards to soften. I may add a touch more near her eyes with the blue, but overall I do like the look. |
 |
| This was one of my many attempts to get "the look". |
 |
| Sponging ... NO! |
 |
| A swatch with some other attempts and color combinations. |
 |
| More trial and error ... |
 |
| EEK!!! NO!!! |
 |
| Ditto! |
 |
| Like the effect but not the color. Thankfully, I had all the color studies I had done earlier with which to play. |
 |
| Nice, but too dramatic, I feel, for the owner. I will be using gentle colors tending to warm, and something to bring out their eyes. |
 |
| And this is a sketch of one of my next projects. Meet the Greater Bilby. I had never heard of this beastie before, and when I saw a photo, I felt compelled to draw and paint him. He is a rabbit-sized marsupial, living in the drier areas of Australia. He is also on the endangered list. I would like to do [hopefully] one drawing and/or painting a week of an endangered animal. Thank you so much for dropping in!!! |
