HANDSOME BOY, OTIS - TAKE TWO

 


Painted this one on the Stonehenge Aqua hotpress paper and I like it better because I could shape the hairs better by lifting off color.  Still just using Lunar Black except for the eyes and nose - and the background.  


Didn’t use the whole sheet (it’s in a block) so painted a little something else on the “scrap” piece - but you’ll have to wait for that one to be shown!

Such a gorgeous boy. I find dark fur such a challenge to paint, you are making it look easy. What is your secret?

Thanks, Lisa. No secret, but I am using only Lunar Black by Daniel Smith and this is on Stonehenge Aqua hotpress - I think that may make it easier? Really just playing to see what I can come up with using different papers right now. And thinking of moving to YUPO again for a while! ha ha.
