Swamp Heaven

I've had such fun today!

Letting my imagination run wild and trying to paint Kermit in a realistic abstract kind of way.

I borrowed an idea from another Painting Friend, Sharon - who had used cling film and then inked around the design it made. I used watercolour pencil in my work to highlight the design - and I'm really happy with it. Its such FUN :)

If you've never seen Sharon's blog,  go HERE for a real treat.

and here is my painting... Arches Rough 15x11

Swamp Heaven

A Different Curtain

Here's the finished painting:

A Different Curtain

I hope you've enjoyed the process and the finished painting. :) 

Tomorrow I'll be visiting all your blogs, for tonight, its time to water the garden. 

Have a wonderful evening, all xx

A Different Curtain - work in progress 2

here are the next three stages of A Different Curtain.

I've added the foliage here, behind the figures and have finished the bricks in the wall

In this one I have added the first pale green wash to the figures, made from a mix of ultramarine and transparent yellow. This is a base for the stronger colour to come.

and in this one, I have added the first wash of viridian, which will give the statue  a look of aged bronze.

The next picture you see will be the finished painting, because its just a matter now of adding another wash of viridian and touching up the shadows, where they need it. Oh, and deepening the pale red marble on which they sit. :)

Until tomorrow, then...
