Another Quickie Posting before work!
Hope y'alls had a happy Fourth!
Spent 1 day over at Queen Kamehameha's in her lovely saltwater pool
and the rest of the time
was spent as a hermit
celebrating the holiday
safe in the art-bunker!

WestADad-Glad you enjoy these ocular treats!
They're very high in Calories,so view with caution,Chris! :)

Mike!-you pretty much summed it up...
i just use more analogies and adjectives!
Yes! You've seen my scooter piece(s)
i didn't do one with a scooter
cause there are none in the world i paint in....
"the Cannibal King's Dinner"
was made especially for that show

and this
"Dream of the Agiba Skullrack" will be keeping him company!

And ,to support the theory that
the Squeaky Wheel DOES get the Grease
i have a more involved step-by-step/progress
on this new piece

Sneaks!-No problemo art-brother!
Man! We gotta hook up for a weekend artjam someday!

Here's a new piece I'm creating for the lucky 13 Tiki Highway event in a few weeks at Don's....
Figgered i might as well get ONE new thing done
and then it's off to a crapload of projects and commissions
some Tiki
some not...

start with a 16x20 piece of masonite
and just pencil in your picture

(this one i just went for it-basing it on a few older approaches i had created for some huts)

Here's a close-up of the pencil..
Daddy likes it rough.

Lay in some olive in the vegetation areas....

Add some lighter green,a happy limey color
to establish some light hitting some planes...
and start washing in a mud-grey/hazel-ish for the wood
and washes of mustard for the hut....

close-up!

start laying the hazel over the hut to get some shadows and layered looks

ZOOM IN!

work more brown in for shadowing
this will be the lighter shadow as i will be adding a burnt umber later
Started on the blue-going in there with washes of color
the raw masonite just soaks it UP!

More More More of it and here is where i am ,as of last night..

it's gettin there...

That;s it! Gotta get to the ol' dayjob!
Thanks for visitin!
