Hello and thanks for the happytalk Sneaks,ravers,and Meheadhunter!
it was a blast makin em!
well....actually got 2 days of painting in and a little bit here and there during the vacation...
not as much as I would have liked,but....that's always the case!
Got some Arches watercolor paper for Christmas,so i finished one....
"Swamp and Hut"
ink/Bleach/Sharpie on Watercolor paper
and half-finished this one....
working title...."the Battle"
ink and sea salt on watercolor paper
this one was reeeeal dark til i squirted some water on it
(after the ink and Sea salt,of course) and it got light
with a neat-o texture in the background...
think I'll add some tapa-ish elements to it for the background...
also got some more work done on "the Journey" the birth canvas...
did a bunch of baby face studies and settled on this one...
worked over the clouds and huts some more.....
also made the sky bluer and cooler-more relaxing-for the Heaven area...
did a lil more lighting on the boat,having it reflect some of the water below it...
and finally becoming satisfied with the transparency approach..
Next up...transparency and rain and water! Exciting,huh?
And since it was Christmas,I made the wife a nativity drawing...
with a South Seas style manger!
So it's kinda tiki,eh?
"the Nativity" ink/Sea Salt/Bleach/Sharpie on Watercolor paper
Here's God with the Holy Spirit dove and the star...
here's some angels,who i modeled more like a mix between seraphim and traditional angel...
Plus,i was too lazy to picture a multitude of angels filling the skies
so i made em big and let the stars in the sky reflect the multitudes of the heavenly host...
Closer.....
Here's the whole manger...Bamboo Ben style!
and here's the lower left,beneath the enormous angel's wings
you can see the 3 Wise men and shepards wandering over..
and more shepards here on the left....
Well, Merry Christmas again friends!
and a Happy New Year!!!!
Don't Drink and Drive!
