Day 271 - 365/2014

Day Two Hundred Seventy-One  (updated)

I wasn't going to work on this today but it was bugging me too much to leave it alone.

I erased the light pencil mark face with an Mr. Clean Magic Eraser.  Then I filled in the rest of the unpainted area.

There.  Now I feel better.

And no -- this will not be a biteyou...but here is what it might have looked like as one.

update:  9:40pm  -- Oh heck...I decided to just touch everything up and while I wasn't paying attention too well I accidentally painted from the left side into the bottom of the empty space a little bit.  At first I was mildly annoyed with myself, then I figured that space was going to need to be painted anyway, so I might as well start with a solid color and not worry about getting paint on the legs.  Now it is all smooth and pretty well covered.

Day 270 - 365/2014

Day Two Hundred Seventy

Oh man...what did I get myself into?  I really dislike painting -- especially walls.  What the hell?

This is as far as I got tonight.  I bought a quart of the color I did the outline with and it looks a bit darker than the little tester pot.  No biggie...this is just the base coat/outline any way.  I am so unused to doing stuff like this anymore and I can't take too much physically (apparently).  I was very annoyed to find it difficult to step up onto the fireplace ledge thing...cripes. Oh well...what is going to happen is what will happen...I have fairly high hopes for this project.  It will take me forever, though. 

A few of the drawings from this afternoon...still not sure where I am going with this.

Practicing the "gonna getcha" hands.

Where I stopped last night.

As far as I got tonight...this takes a lot more balance than I was considering...also, it is pretty fumes-y.
