There was a Christmas art show at DaddyKatz a coupla days before Xmas with top notch jams by The Rubbles. A bunch of artists dragged gear and displays in. I took the moai from the canvas painting I've been working on and thought I'd see how he fared in a small velvet. The Moai took about 4-5 hours. "Rano Aroi goes supercritical" - 11x14" - velvet on bristol board. The landscape was the fun part BECAUSE IT WAS IMPROVISED - always a DANGEROUS thing to do on velvet, but fun when it works out. I stubbornly refused to put highlights on the moai's face or his pukao from the volcano. It seemed too PREDICTABLE. If there is ANYTHING I HATE TO DO IT'S TO BE PREDICTABLE. Here is the moai canvas that I got the above moai from. It's upside down so's I can give it a fresh look.
