Hamo as of this morning I have 48 Sacramento Crawl mugs poured and drying. I am way ahead of schedule. If I slow down on the velvets and run out of photos then I'll start posting on the crawl mug. The first week in October is the due date for those. The Wish List ceramics are drying right along side of these. It is taking so long to dry in the garage compared to inside our home . At the same time I'll try to never go back. I'm happy that you like the BV.

hang10tiki So many layers for those thin lined plants. I'm trying hard to get it right I'm happy you notice that, thank you.

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

Back to the wish of Stephen Seaton.

I mixed paints together to get the right color for this bamboo.

Then I painted all the bamboo again with this color over the green.

Whenever I leave the room I turn the painting towards the door. That's to inspire me to get back to work.

To give a more 3D look I went back and did a line of transparent brown down the sides of all of the bamboo.

To make the ginger pants more 3D I used a pink in the front of each plant.

Looks like it needs another layer. When I finish a painting I go back over it and enhance each area as needed.

The bamboo will have leaves but next up I'll start on the tikis. Cheers, Wendy
