I’m going to add a few more details to Luke today (just a few I swear, that boy has been getting ALL of my attention!), and then on to Ella. See the difference in the digital pics in daylight vs. my nighttime “daylight” lamps? Wierd, huh?
Hey and how cool is this? I was just looking at my referrers, this one is cool! Search results for “Leanne” on MSN!
The new webcam has arrived (albeit 4 hours later than I had hoped for), it’s installed, and whooowie! Ya have to see!
Now had it arrived when I expected it, I would have been painting for 4 hours already. Oh well, that’s what you get for pacing. hehe!
I’m going to leave the cam on, and will try to paint a little before dinner and then again after 8:30PM CST.
I worked on Luke tonight, he’ll be getting yet another coat of fur tomorrow before I start finishing up Ella.
I just finished the underpainting, now mom don’t get too worried, everything but the background will have a fresh & detailed layer right on top of this one!
The background is a nice rich brick red, lightened with a buttercream (not the butter, the paint that looks like butter.) in the foreground. So hey, Taba, how about brick red?
Meet Luke & Ella! I’ll be working on their portrait (12×12 Canvas Panel) over the next few days. Don’t they look sweet together? Actually getting along to have their photo taken! Aww.
Here are the digital shots of The Horse. He’s still wet of course, fresh off the easel. I am including a sorta-side shot so you can see the sides (which are green and compliments the painting REALLY well) as well as get an idea on the size. It’s 12×16 gallerywrap canvas. 🙂
Ellie’s scan turned out perfect. She’s such a pretty girl! I’m including a close up of her face too. The photograph I had to work from was pretty teenie, it was a 3×5 photo but Ellie was only about 2 1/2 inches tall in that photo, I scanned it in at a super high res so I could get as much detail from it as possible. The rest, well, I made it up!
Ellie will ship on Monday – along with The Horse. I’ve been doing paperwork, packing and shipping all morning. My poor mailman is going to freak out when she sees what’s waiting for her! Ten, Tori, Emily, Nicki, Callie, Possy III and a Christmas gift I’ve finally gotten around to shipping (’cause she finally got around to moving to her new house!). I think I should go hide until the white truck is gone. heh!
The horse is finished, I have to complete the foreground grasses and paint the edges of this one. I’ll do that tomorrow.
