Crimson Alizar and the Death Leeches of Dashur
Painting the Terrain.
Hi eve
I chose oils because it is so easy to blend up and I am in no rush to finish this. Oils are a very relaxing medium to paint with. You don’t need to constant clean your brushes, the paint can stay uncovered for hours without drying. Just great!
As this is a jungle scene, I went green heavy. Cadium green takes a long time to dry, so I added some ‘megilp’ medium to speed up the drying time to a day or two.
The pictures below tell the rest of the story.
Priming everything black, makes life easier with terrain.
I then zenithally spray primed everything gray.
I gave everything an indigo oil wash, let the paint set for 30mins and rubbed most of it off.
First layers in oils. Here I set the colour choices.
Second layer of oils. Adding more green.Next week I will start painting up the leeches and we will see how it goes.
Until then farewell and have fun.
