I hate, detest, nay loathe acrylic paints after this week. I've been trying to work on idea's for my mural - and of course it's on a wooden board, so I thought acrylics or oils would be a good choice. Oil's would take too long to dry. Acrylics just hate me.
DRIPS! Everywhere I paint, I get drips from them, because I water the acrylic down, not even that much though... urgh.
So, as it stands, I'm going to stretch some very large paper over the boards, and hope for the best. I'm going to try to make it look like a page from my sketch book. Copious amounts of Tea and Coffee shall be used, along with bits of water colour here and there.
I'm beginning to get worried, honestly - I don't feel I have enough pieces... I certainly don't have as many as I would have liked - I've gotten slower at working, with my discovery of new techniques, rather than faster. I'm really going to have to crack down the next couple of weeks, and troll out some great art.
I put my monster Marquette in to be fired, after I got the surface of his skin pebble smooth usine a rubber kidney. I think it looks good and can't wait to see it actually fired.
Also, I finally finished the painting on a picture of Tiffany from Somnium. Now all I need to do is put in a background and it'll be ready for printing.
