gonna try and paint cathy (it didn't go well)

 


I like Beam Paints a lot so I'm going to try these.  I begin by applying masking fluid for the parts I want to remain white.



Washy backgrounds are looking good.  Now, can I paint the chicken.


First layer, wet in wet to get the foundations down.  


A bit darker - remembering that watercolour values are more to do with saturation than blackness or whiteness.

Although this is getting away from me a bit.  

Let's add some details.


Um... yeh.  That didn't turn out how I expected.  Interesting and it is chicken shaped, but not Cathy.  I need to practice with the Beam Paints more because they are quite a bit more vibrant than I am used to.
