A New Experiment in Tribute to World Lion Day
Read about my continuing exploration of new digital mediums with my latest animal portrait in celebration of World Lion’s Day.
From domestic cats into the wild! Here is a new experiment of mine, undertaken in tribute to World Lion Day
This was another dive into the Rebelle 4 painting software I've been exploring recently.
To date I've been focusing mainly on oils, but for this I wanted to try out their soft pastels instead.
I have kept my approach much looser than normal, in part because I wanted to see if I could say less with more and I was working to the clock! :)
In a way the constraints of a time limit can be a brilliant tool, forcing focus like nothing else can!
See below a mini time-lapse of how I started, working in loose line & blocks of colour, making myself step back from detail more.
I have also included a close up of the eye to give you a sense of how this software really captures the texture and feel of the pastel medium.
