hang10tiki you help keep my thread here going so I'm am very thankful of our friendship. The compliments are accepted with a blush.

=========================

Wish List #8 my garage tables are full so I need to continue to dry the pieces that are made and to do Black Velvet Painting for awhile.

This first one is for Loki Tiki and it is based on Disneyland. I had help from Jackie his child, just look at the talent shown in the drawing done as a guide for me. I referred to it over and over again.

Next I outlined the tree.

Then it was time to start the many layers of the face "skin". If I were an airbrush artist this would go much faster. As it is I have to do many layers with them drying in-between.

Time to be brave and to just put brush to velvet.

It slowly begins to look better.

Another one. I save my paint that I mixed in old 35mm film containers. If I had to keep mixing the paint it would never match perfectly.

Every area of this painting will have touchups throughout the work.

While the paint is still wet you can use a needle to draw lines for detail.

Even these plants will be painted over many times before being completed.

It's good to have one area done but there's so much more to do. Wendy
