And...

I have one watercolor on watercolor paper/affixed to mat board that I purchased for this purpose. I will finish this piece. I actually bought three of these at the same time, but decided not to pursue this project with the other two due to the buckling of the watercolor paper and mat board when I apply the matte medium to it.



This is a close up of a buckled area.

2012/365 - Day 66 -- part two

filling a guy in with paint

We all know I am not a painter. But sometimes there is just no getting around it, it is the best way to cover up/fill in/finish the project I am working on.


I wanted to limit myself to three colors for this demon bull/beast guy. Light Blue Permanent, Titanium White, and Burnt Umber.



I tried to keep what Peggy showed me (when she helped me with the Cat-Creature) in mind. I know I'm not doing things exactly as she showed me, but hey...













I am surprised by the colors I am getting. I like them.

Me? Mixing paints?













Back to work on canvas #2...the one where all the creatures emerged.

So I started to fill in the spaces where the color would go and still leave the pencil marks so I could see where the shadows and outlines are.


































Then I tried to back really fast and add a darker color to get the outlines back...and the shadows were a mixture of colors.




Obviously, it isn't finished...but it is a decent beginning.






How it looks overall right now.
