Mainly, I worked on the upper third of the canvas, using both brushes and my airbrush. I had gotten stuck on what to do for the sky and distance up to it, but I think I know where I'm heading now. The mountains at the moment are too central, I'll probably add more on either side. Next I will add more animals...gotta get it done before the nursery is occupied!
Here's a link to the previous stages.
This looks FRickin AAAWWEESSSOOMMEE Em!
ReplyDeleteTHIS is one of your best pieces EVER!
You should shop this around to kids book publishers-you have a real strength for that kinda work!
BTW Whatever came of the kid's book you did?
Thanks, Pat! I am back to enjoying this painting after getting in a rut with it. I think incorporating airbrush helped, but I don't want to lose the brush-stroky quality either. There's alot more I want to add so that it's CRAMMED with critters, insects, birds, etc.
ReplyDeleteI'm actually working on another children's book for someone now...and it took a long time for the first one to get done and out..Guess I should do a blog post on it, huh?
Good work Emily !!!
