Wild Thing

Did the figure and tree and finished background. For the most part they complement each other. The foreground in warm browns, flesh tones, oranges and red to advance figure and tree. The background being shades of green making it recede. Adding the detail at the last and over all it keeps me from not looking at the whole picture.

Establish the background. Working from the farthest away like someone is walking toward me. This is how I like to do it from less detail to more focus. Grounding with aureoline yellow. I love this colour it it so sparkly. Blocking in some sap green to have something to work against.

Wild Thing 2

Traced on watercolour paper with payne's grey in fine line brush. I like to see my line clearly while working it helps. I edit as I go along and limit the detail to be added at my discretion later.

Wild Thing 1

This is a small rough sketch I started with. It is enlarge and traced in a painted line. I like doing this because I can lose the line when I paint. I like my small sketches my thumbnails because they have an energy that I can lose if I do my roughs to large.
