The Human Canvas - Struggling With the Blues

Now normally I don't post so many sessions,

so many days in a row. I normally try to post something,

give it a few days... see what kind of traffic comes

through... then post again.

BUT, I wanted to get this ONE more

out before the end of April - and there are still

several sessions yet to post. Meantime, you can scroll

down for a COUPLE of the recent sessions, but please,

using the "search" window a bit to the right, search

for (separately) VENOM, AUTISM, THE IMPORTANCE, DRAWING ON LESSONS, WHITE RABBIT, SHARK DIVING, and definitely, BIRD OF PARADISE. 

These are all recent entries that I don't want to get swallowed up by a new post.

This session, however...

Another piece of Canvas provided by Lil' Dave.  

We had JUST finished covering a real tattoo, and working 

with the shape of the kneecap for a shot at Venom. 

This was a fun experiment which I know we'll 

be revisiting. Already talked about it... 

just haven't sat DOWN 

for it yet.

Another fun experiment 

for me is EVERY time involving the blending of colors - employing a couple of different 

methods.

So it's not so much "Struggling With the Blues" at this point. Here it's still FUN with the blues.

And reddy-oranges.

But the problem with using this blend 

of blues for the fish...

...Is that it's same blend I use to get depth 

and contrast in the water.

So... I got a good fish. 

But what to do with the water then...

It was a struggle with the blues. 

A STRUGGLE

 let me tell ya.

Oh wait. Never mind. 

Just have it coming down INTO water... 

...As if it had just jumped. Okay. Comfortable with the 

blues again.

And making this water was a wonderful, 

organic, create as you go 

kinda thing.

Except after stepping back, I decided it needed a pooling effect...

And THEN we're done. Again.

So... 

Thanks Again Lil' Dave.

And thank YOU for stopping by.

There are SEVERAL more sessions I 

have yet to publish...

...So please check back.

AND...

Thanks again.
