Puma Bagatti, take two

Question: How do you take your eggs?

Answer: Anyway but on my face!

Oh -I had egg on my face right after I found out that Puma is a female feline, not a king of the jungle. My niece was very gracious about the assumption on my part, that Puma Bagatti had to be a name for the king of the jungle or at the very least, the king of her apartment.

So I got back to work this morning giving Puma the eyes she should have had yesterday. I did a little more work on her ears, whiskers and collar. She looks like the princess of the house that she is. Unfortunately for Puma, she shares her kingdom with another feline princess, Cadence Marine.

The finished "Hay Maze" Piglet Art I truly love how this piece came out. I've been amazed at the pure color and beautiful brushwork of Angela Moulton's paintings. Every time I see her latest collection on YouTube, I am awestruck at how pure the background color is. So I wanted to try my hand at upping background color value in my work. Below is how I started: Hay Maze Start Here, I establish the main layout and gesture of this piglet's face. I'm striving for something that looks painterly, yet would bring a smile to the face of the viewer, so this stage is important. Also, color values on the pig are being set. Hay Maze about halfway This is where I put that rich background color in. Notice some neutral colors in with the bright. I wouldn't want all bright green here as it would be like all caps when texting. I'll re-post the final Hay Maze below: Lots of changes from the halfway point, ...
