So...
Court.
Remember her? Really, REALLY into butterflies?
Court. She was the last posted "canvas".
If you missed that one - "The Human Canvas - The Butterly Effect" - a click HERE will getcha there. Or if you catch this post anytime soon, you can just scroll down.
She was with us for several days...
...So I sketched out several ideas. At some point, we will do the rest of them. This visit got the wrap-around leg-piece.
Done. Check.
Beyond what's on the sketch, we've also talked about re-visiting...and actually FINISHING "The Human Canvas - The Bra Strap". If you haven't seen this one, or wanna get there again without a search, a click HERE will do it.
On the "idea sketch", there's an arrow pointing to her shoulder, with a note that says, "Goth (or tribal, maybe) Butterfly". The other shoulder has a reminder for me to put Rosie the Riveter on her...or somebody.
I thought the butterfly turned out fine. (I'd had LOTS of practice by that point) But when I attempted to add a "tribal" look...
...and then when I added color...
Yuck! Blech! Ack!
Okay, maybe not that bad, but still...I didn't like it. The color and extra lines simply detracted from what was otherwise a decent piece.
So I erased. Well, I tried to erase. Here's the first scrub with rubbing alcohol...
...And here's the second.
Great, Dave. Ya promised her cool art...and gave her what looks like a big bruise.
So scrub it some more...and draw something in to disuise the discolored arm-thing you just presented. Butterflies, by now, have become kind of quick.
And these little whatsits of color...a quick and easy frame.

There. Not the best cover-up out there. Not entirely disguised, but...
...Good. Still smiling. We like it when that happens.
