Water Demon
This was painted as an entry the the 4th Chick
Challenge. I painted in while on vacation in Florida. It
was a great experience to be sitting outside in the sun painting a
figure. I used a limited color pallet, consisting of only two
primary colors for the body, and then a single off white color was used
to mix with the base colors, creating the lighter shaded. The
original base was removed, and the figure was added to this larger
base. The water way created by taking a large brush and applying
gesso to the base, and then highlighting with various blue and green
shades. I added several layers of gloss finish to the water to
finish it off.
