Green Man - WIP Forever??





Green Man, had a fun time "Starting" this painting in August, OMG, it's been that long, and it's been a long time since I've had time to paint. See it all began.... when I went to WORK, I received a offer to go back to work as project manager and it is wonderful, but now I have no real time to paint. :-( bummer.
It's still a wip, since I have more leaves to define and the top leaves need to be soften but hey! I wanted to post something. :-) The fun part of this painting was I basically threw the paint wet/wet on it and with a small sea sponge started pulling out the color for the eyes, nose, mouth and then let dry. Then I went in and started doing the negative/positive painting. It's got a bit to go before I'm done but so far I'm good about it.

Thanks for looking.
Have a Wonderful Christmas!

  2. It's good to see you back in the blogsphere, Sheila! I haven't posted in months, either, and have not painted since September. I did take a drawing class, so have been doing some art, at least. I love the negative effect of the leaves on his chin as well as the colors on your green man and look forward to seeing the finished product.
