When I drew this, I began putting my usual suspects into the painting rather than some of my more recent jungle creatures. Painting the background on aqua board is challenging. I find I need to work with all the strokes going in one direction. I must be sure the paint stays wet enough so the background stays even. On this painting I worked in the background first. I decided what colors I wanted to work in and painted out a few color combinations on xeroxes of the outlined drawing. Once satisfied, I began to work on this 8″ by 10″ painting.
Mr. Gray Pants and Purple Polka Dots remind me of cartoon characters.
This painting is framed in a maple and black shadow box frame. To purchase click here.
Love your whimsical imagination that comes to fruition in such a fun way. I also like that you explain your process.
Thanks MAria. In some ways this was a bit simpler because I drew what I usually draw and in others a challenge because of working on aqua board.
Very time consuming! Like a 10,000 piece puzzle! But the colors that resulted are beautiful! I just love the coral/blue play!
Thanks…me too.
Gorgeous! Very beautiful & sweet painting! You fly on the wings of your fantasy!
Thank you so much.
I’d like to sit in the middle of those multi-colored leaves. Maybe on a toadstool 😉 Your work is so delightful.
Oh we could hang out together and see who comes by.
So much to look at! I just love all those colorful leaves on the left side. Nice!
