Mr.Wizard Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Hi all, I've done minis and models, and wanted to try my hand at canvas. I'm still learning to blend, and thought you guys might like to view and comment. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lee Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Pretty cool, what medium are you working in. When I first opened the thread, I thought you had one of those photos from the hubble in it. Keep on painting. John Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant_Crunch Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Even after all these years of watching Bob Ross on TV I don't think I have the skill to paint anything on a canvas like that. Kudos to you for branching out! The starfield is good, but the blue doesn't really evoke the idea of the expanding gases of an exploding star to me. Unfortunately I have no advice to offer.

Mr.Wizard Posted October 18, 2009 Author Share Posted October 18, 2009 Hey John, I'm doing acrylics, mostly Liquitex and Dick Blick. I am super-new at blending, so I want to start applying this to minis, because I see the amazing results you guys get with blending. (the preceeding was a run-on sentence) Hey Sarge, thanks for the feedback on the blue colors. The starfield was done in two parts. First, I used a poor unsuspecting toothbrush to fling thinned paint on the canvas. Then I went in a more carefully painted indicidual stars in different colors.
