Aslan – Work In Progress

This painting’s really coming along now. I’ve got Aslan’s base coat on, I’ll give it a day or two to dry then I’ll go over it to give the fur depth.

I’m still struggling to mix colours, I’ve tried reading about colour theory but I have to admit that it’s all completely over my head. Typical, I can understand algebra but ask me to mix a colour and I’m lost.

  4. I think the building looks a bit less scary now, or is it just a trick of the light?

  5. Fay - Thanks for the book suggestion. I'll look into it.
    Mark - Well, this photo was taken in better light so maybe that's it :)

  6. I can't wait to see this finished! Looks great, I personally like the building the way it is :) There is nothing wrong with it. I know what you mean about colour theory, I suggest investing in a good book or even buying a colour mixing chart :)) A colour wheel is very helpful too.
