Painting Shadows on a White Statue: Lion #4
I was very happy with the latest lion that I painted last Thursday (June 2006).
The ninety-plus degree heat and a code red smog alert made the working conditions less than pleasant. The actual sky was light and hazy; I darkened it considerably after I got home.
My palette for this paint was raw sienna, burnt sienna, cobalt blue, and ultramarine blue.
This lion was a rework of another lion I did a couple of days earlier. In the first attempt, I had a lot of trouble placing the image on the page. He kept winding up smaller than I had originally intended.
