Angelic-Little Girl Portrait

 Close ups

Oil on 5x7 canvas panel.

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Kay was the gracious host this week and provided a bunch of great photos! The little girl is Lillian. Kay's SIL's granddaughter.

 I'm glad I was able to put my brakes on and stop early in this piece. I managed to retain the sketchiness I like so well. After the painting was done, I even went back into it with a brush to accentuate the sketchiness. The background is the acrylic that tones the panel.

C&C Welcome. Thanks for taking a peek and commenting!


James 1:13       Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one.

 I liked these three trying to avoid the paparazzi by wearing those cool sun glasses.... !

For this one, I just painted along and let the painting let me know what it needed. I maybe should have quit a bit sooner.

I just had fun and let the paint fly.

C&C welcome. Thanks for visiting and taking the time to comment!

How Now-Brown Cow

 Close Ups

 Oil on 5x7 canvas panel.

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Scatty was the gracious host this week and provided a bunch of great photos! Thank you, Scatty!

 How now brown cow? I didn't know exactly how I wanted to paint this beautiful bovine. So I tried to make the lighting more interesting. It's always a challenge for me whenever I try to change the lighting in a photo. I think the mouth was open as it chewed the hay ( couldn't exactly tell from the photo). So for simplicity, I gave it some manners and closed the mouth. :lol:

C&C welcome. Thanks for looking and commenting!


John 8: 31        Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Looking For Spring-Goats

Demo
 Close ups

 The Drawing
First I drew the kids on the canvas panel. I went over some important lines using a Sharpie. Then I toned it using thinned acrylic alizarin crimson.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  1st Hr.
 Working from the mid value toned support, it was easier to judge my lights and darks. I tried to keep the paint thick in the lighter colors for interest. I had a lot of fun with this one!
Hope you all like it!

 It's snowing again here tonight, so I'm sure looking for Spring. It seems that these kids are intently looking for something too....Spring, maybe??

 The Scarlet Macaw...I really like these birds because of the attitudes they display. Looks as if this one is about to tell a joke....hope it's clean...maybe you should cover your ears! :lol:
Once again some painting knife was used in this one. Plenty of texture.
