Thursday’s Child

Posted on March 27, 2008 by Tania

Today is hanging day, tomorrow opening, and I’m not quite finished framing yet (new frame moulding and I’m finding it hard to match the corners on them). Here’s what the lion looks like fully scratched:

Because this is going to be coloured with acrylic inks, I’ve scratched the values brighter overall than I would if I was leaving this in black and white. I’ll post the colour version tomorrow, for now I’m off to fight with some framing.

About Tania

I'm an artist, specifically a wildlife artist. And how exactly does one know she is an artist, specifically a wildlife artist? Well, only artists get excited about new art supplies, "Mmm, unmarked claybord..." or discovering a new satin sheen spray varnish *sigh* And only a wildlife artist gets distracted during a very serious conversation with her exceptionally supportive spouse by a fledgling sparrow taking it's first shaky flight across the yard.
