You have some really good advice.

    I think Brandon had to move your painting lol. Gibson's fur is so silky and pretty. It was nice to see him so excited while he was out. I was imagining the new painting as you described it. It sounds like it'll be fun for you to work on. I still think you should make one with all of your babies in one large piece. Your aquatic life, studio assistants, birds, snails, and Gibson. That would be epic. Crossing my fingers.

    @SaraMakesArt Před 4 lety

    I love the way the feathers came out on this! It recently occurred to me that, unless you're doing a commissioned piece, the color is only "wrong" if you, as the artist, aren't happy with it. In regards to things like a beak or an eye and the detail required to make them look realistic, I just had the thought to try painting each individual part of a subject, as if that's the _only_ thing I'll do on that painting. If I think of doing the whole animal, it's tempting to rush through individual parts.
