This piece was entered into "Explore This" 2010 as pictured above. In the eleventh hour I found that scotch tape worked really well for removing unwanted pigment. In restrospect I am not happy still with the foliage around his head. I was too married to giving him a symbolic halo. I will be waiting for the exhibition results, but am likely to change this part further. Any comments are welcome now.
He's gorgeous Angela!
ReplyDeleteI love the movement in the mane.
ReplyDeleteYou might be able to achieve the halo effect if you opened up the trees a bit in the back and give it a backlit effect. Not sure if that would work, I struggle allot with lighting myself.
So how is Buddy doing?
Thank you very much, Linda!
ReplyDeleteThanks alot, Mona, I don't like how it the foliage follows the shape of his head and muzzle, I have had it lighter/more backlit, but think I have to break up the shape more before seeing what else it needs.
