More cloud practice and a character drawing
/I’m working on my clouds again. Enough said about that. Today I practiced going into the wet and erasing the blue. I saw this technique on the ArtTutor Youtube channel.
Erasing the blue is far easier than protecting the whites.
For some reason painting this single cloud was very tiring, so I decided that I should reward myself by drawing a jaybird about to fall down our chimney. Every Fall one of these little guys seems to think it’s a good idea to go down our narrow chimney pipe to do some exploring. The trouble starts once they’re in the chimney and then find out and they can’t open their wings to fly out. They end up clattering around inside the damper, and then the soot up the living room when we open it and set them free. They last guy couldn’t figure out that the front door was wide open for him so he sat on the curtain rod of an hour or two then left without even saying “thank you.”
Down he goes.
