The Adventures of Frank & Lily
Base Painting Rady
The painting is done. After blocking in the colours I wanted for my scheme, I went ahead and started to add highlights and lowlights, washes and glazes. The best way to explain it is like doing a painting – adding and subtracting colour, intensifying or softening contrasts until the piece looks right.
When everything was done, I added even more contrast to the stairway, because it seemed a bit bland. I also went ahead and added some green and brown washes to inject some interest into the structure.
Maybe Sunday or Monday I will post again. The next step is to add the roots! Until then, stay safe.
