Everyone Cheered to watch Racers Run 4th later of paint Acrylic, by me, Mary Stebbins Taitt Click to view larger |
I've added a fourth layer of paint, which took about 4 days, and as you can plainly see, it is till quite a ways from being finished. I added turtles in the audience at the lower because the space seemed too empty, but they need work, and I painted out the head of the wolf on the furthest left because its legs were too short. Since the light is coming from above, slightly behind and to the right, I will have to do some work with the sun and shadows, which right now is just plopped on (To make the turtles more visible.). Too bad, because I was reaching a point of being almost happy with the grass before. I think the Dachshund is finished or nearly finished, and maybe the cat, too. The elephant is getting closer. (Too bad the scanner won't scan the gutter! :-( ) Frankie is my grandson, and this is for a book for him.

You certainly have an artist's 'eye' Mary, light, shade, shadow etc. Great work and watching the process is fascinating and informative.
Thanks, John. It is not meant as a tutorial as I am feeling my along and have never had classes in acrylics.
