My triumphant return to painting

keire_ke... is so far quiet and rather unfinished. XD
Yes, as you can see it's a tiny one (about A4), and the colour scheme is wacky. This is because if the moon painting has taught me anything is that I am not an underpainter. I might layer a million colours onto the same patch of canvas, but underpainting is not a skill. You'd think I would notice, seeing how I very rarely draft when writing, but clearly I need to hammer certain things home.
Heh, I have been called on not keeping to the original sketch - the age difference, though not intentional, is really hard to miss. XD As for whether it's less or more creepy that way, let's wait until I finish. I have also discovered that so far I think I prefer painting on canvas rather than a board. Canvas have a better feel to them, I find.
Oh, the mostly white surface in the background? That's the moon painting. You will notice how it's only barely visible - I have decided it lacked spirit and have therefore primed the canvas. I figure no use wasting a perfectly good canvas, so it's practically ready for when I have time: I am going to give a landscape a try. Either I punch a hole through it, or it will be awesome. I have the vaguest idea, too!
Oooh,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
7thnight_smut is open for requests! Yay! My favourite exchange. ^_____^ I have the vague inkling of an idea, I'll give it a couple of days, to make sure I won't micromanage via voodoo rituals, and then I'm totally submitting.
