I'm happy to see you here and have you join me on my artistic journey. Over the past several years I've created visual art in various media. But beginning in 2019 I am focusing on writing and illustrating books for animal enthusiasts of all ages. Regardless of the medium, my subject is nearly always animals! Don't miss a post!

Fluffing up the Groundhogs
Now I've done more work on the groundhogs. I added the next layer of texture to the fur. First, I glazed over the animals to create a sense of form by deepening the colors in the shadows. I used mixtures of Payne's Grey/Van Dyck Brown and Ultramarine Blue/Burnt Umber. The mixture is the cooler on and the second is the warmer one. Then I added another layer of the tiny texture strokes. I used the same method - glaze then detail - to model the faces.
