Ready for the next step that is!

Isolation coats are now complete.

The cold autumn weather has been good for painting the isolation coat on ‘Male’.

After several weeks (months) of procrastinating, I have finished painting ‘Male’!

These swirls are making me dizzy!

I’ve been over my painting ‘Male’ with the dip pen and Raw Umber to add more detail. Looks great!

The diamond eyes are painted! Next up is applying the mirrored shards to the diamonds. But how Lucy? Ummm, I’m not sure yet. It’s time to experiment!

The final touches of colour on the diamond eyes is complete. Now they just need some highlights and some drawing.

After 8 layers of paint, the kangaroo is now officially ‘gold’!

I’ve just finished the Indian Yellow Hue layer. The last planned layer is Quinacridone/Nickel Azo Gold.

I’m not sure if the layer is too light or not, but it is better to paint it too light then to be too heavy. I can always add another layer later if it’s needed.

Today I painted as much detail as I could.

Old painting, new idea. It’s time to revisit the mirrored shapes within the diamonds.

The Raw Umber layer is done. Five more layers to go!
