This is another ornament I bought for one of the boys, back in 2002. It's a resin ornament, but looks kind of like ceramic. I just love his little joyful face - like I think I would look if I suddenly discovered I could fly. I hung it from my desk lamp to paint it.
I used Dr. Ph. Martin's Radiant Concentrated Water Color - which is WAY concentrated - lordy. I had to go back on the body and add some white acrylic ink after the red just got WAY to dark.
WAY.

ReplyDeleteYes, he does have a holly jolly face. Interesting about the ink, I have never tried it but those colors are certainly vibrant.
ReplyDeleteWheeee! He looks like he's having FUN! :-D
ReplyDeleteI thought you said ' I hung from my desk lamp to paint it,' and I thought, wow, she's dedicated! I couldn't imagine why you'd have to do such a thing, but, you know, you go where the spirit takes you ;D.
ReplyDeleteNow that I know you didn't have to do gymnastics to make this sketch, I can appreciate it for its charming self alone.
Well, that would have to be one heck of a sturdy desk lamp...
