Because it dries so fast and is a different color when wet, I found it hard to paint around shapes with a small brush and have the background color be uniform... I'd end up with patchy looking backgrounds. <br /><br />In this painting I plan to leave Desmond standing without a floor... I think it emphasizes that he is floating on air with happiness.<br /><br />And no I don't usually gesso, I like to keep texture to a minimum.Anna Alterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16158290821419472185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31911817.post-26290275022563390202009-10-20T11:50:47.767-04:002009-10-20T11:50:47.767-04:00i think a flower on his vest would be very suave!i think a flower on his vest would be very suave!Grace Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18129288262225671104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31911817.post-90167115172021777762009-10-20T11:50:36.277-04:002009-10-20T11:50:36.277-04:00Very nice Anna!

Will you leave it like that, or make Desmond look like he's standing on solid ground? What type of paints do you use? Do you ever gesso the paper before you start?<br /><br />Desmond's coming along nicely!Daniel Mahoneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11256892763009705442noreply@blogger.com
