The picture was taken inside with a flash...the colors are not absolutely exact: the top portion is less red IRL than it appears on my monitor.
I hope that you will let me know what you think of this so far....
Have a great week.

New WIP: Parliament Building Carving II - The Lion King
I've been working on a painting of a second Canadian Parliament Building carving. I am calling it, at this point, The Lion King. It's certainly a lion, but with very human eyes! It's on Fabriano Artistico 140 lb CP paper and is about 14" X 14". I am fairly pleased with it so far even if I used more darks than usual in the botton sections - I am always afraid that layers of darks will look too heavy or chalky.

This is looking great! I really like the colors and the eyes are painted so well.
ReplyDeleteVicki, thank you for stopping by. I am so glad that you like this painting so far.
DeleteI like your step by step progress. It's really helpful to see how you work through a painting. This is going to be marvelous!
ReplyDeleteIt's great to hear from you, Katherine. I usually start a painting with the easiest part. This time, right after painting the top arch, I moved to the eyes: they are often the most difficult part and I would not want spending hours on the background and then ruining the eyes:-) At least, this way, with the toughest part done, I can happily paint the rest without worry.
DeleteI should be able to post the finished painting by tomorrow. Thank you for your support and your visit.
Very impressive!!
ReplyDeleteHi, Ann. Thank you for visiting my art blog. This stone lion does have a very regal look, doesn't he:-)
DeleteThis is turning out beautifully. The darks are working really well. Can't wait to see it finished!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Theresa. I am certainly a lot more pleased with this one than with the previous two. This is a fun painting to work on.
