Chongo!
Thank you my friend!
Warms my heart that i could help put a zazz anna zing in your mornin!
and the indigo is what cools down the painting tonally!
Rock on....
raves-Muchos gracias!
the Butterfly and the moon and the meeting house and the foreground tiki and the volcano
are all trying to tell me a story....it unfolds in tiny bits....no title yet.....
yes...drag WEEG to palm Springs...he'll enjoy it...
Paipo!
Warming my heart yet agin......this time with a miss Scarlett story! :)
what a sweetie! Tikis and butterflies are always popping up here and there....
Things will start slowing down for me around June-July....would love to have a chance
to make Scarlett expand her already creative imagination!
hewey!
go to the eye doctor!
That's what i have to do more and more as time wears on!
does anybody have some baby eyes they could donate for a transplant?
anybody?
paipo?
:lol:
Brad!
first off!
Amazing zipfizz zombie on the latest
and the pig rider sketch is right on track!
Up close this piece does get a little blurry....
I want it to be really jungle-y and confusing
and beautiful at every turn
and every stumble....
You'll see what i mean in a minute.....
As for taping sketches....
always helps ...
why do studies if you can't use 'em?
d-uh-uh!
whilst painting,we are in the air....
the under drawing and the sketch reference
tether us to the earth just enough to let us paint....
thanks for being an art soul brother!
Okay! Chop! Chop!
Only a few more days.... have 1 and 1 half paintings to go....
finished the indigo blackline and it is drying with a satin finish as we speak...
and i'm ready to 'ave another go at it....with color!
ZIPFIIIIIIIIIZZZZZZZZ!
the piece is still untitled and it is 3 by 3 feet in diameter.....
the volcano and the tree branch in the foreground...
it's graphically flat...but not flat......
here's the 2 volcanoes and some night sky...
and the NOMNOM Super Friendly Butterfly Gang (working title...)
here's the meeting hut on the riverbank...
tiki on the left leaned over into the picture....what a HAM!
here's the ground level village...close to the river....
And here we have the NOMNOM Super Friendly Butterfly Gang
off on their perilous adventure to ......
i dunno....
plug up the volcano?
flee the village?
become kidnapped by the Butterfly Crew?
here's all three of the huts in one picture....
i wanted to get a sense of distance.....
even tho it's flat....
it's an illusion!
the night sky with the moon to the left and a sky filled with smoke and stars.....
Close up of the riverbank in the right foreground...
foreground.....even tho it's flat.....
Scene of the whole riverside village complex.....
that's it! it should be dry and ready for phase three....
color accenting/shadows/lighting....
the POP phase before the BIG POP phase with puff paints!
unnerstaind?
See ya soon!
