Fun with granulating colours and new palettes
Added 2021-01-15 16:41:21 +0000 UTCThere's so much new about this piece!
- Drawn on the iPad
- Painted with all-new brushes (my old synthetic ones were four years old - from back when I made the new year's resolution of no longer using actual animal hair - and of course, while real-hair brushes last ten years or so, my synthtic ones had to be replaced and I didn't notice.)
- Using fun new stuff I indulged in over Christmas! I got the little peacock brush stand in the last post from Etsy, as well as the gorgeous seashell palette in the next picture. And a few other pretty things, like hand-made paints and another palette.
- New granulating paints! German brand Schmincke has brought out a few granulating ones, and here's Glacier Green mixed with Ultramarine for Fingolfin's tunic.

This whole piece brings a big smile to my face already. I'm so happy an iPad is working out for you!

2021-01-15 22:28:27 +0000 UTCI'm so glad you commented on that! When I pulled up the Glaurung piece, first in the sketch and now for the colours, to make sure it was all consistent, I kept thinking, "Why go through all this bother? You really think anyone is going to check?" YES! Thank you! =D

2021-01-15 20:35:49 +0000 UTCI had to pull up your painting of Fingon actually fighting Glaurung to see if Fingon is wearing the same cloths. And he does! I love continuity.
