Today’s going to be a great day. Found out there were things I should have put in motion some time ago but have waited till the dying minute to start it off!!!! Dunno why I always seem to get stuck in dilemmas like this. But like I said earlier, today’s a great day…………….I expect it to be and it will be. I am not willing to let anything weigh me down especially something I can’t have a control over. Woke up early………..said ma prayers and put everything in God’s hands. Also asked for my Holy Mother’s intercession. I know for sure every thing will turn out well.

Painting of African Drummers: Step 2

Today I have built up on my sketch. I am using acrylic as a base for the background so I applied lemon yellow and cadmium yellow. For the textured impasto area I am using ultramarine blue. I intend to build up the colors in layers. Thus I’ll be applying several layers of paint in a slow but steady manner. Thankfully acrylic paint doesn’t take time to dry so it’s a quick medium to work with.

Acrylic Painting of African Drummers: Step 2

For the skin tones I am using oil paint and have started building it up with burnt sienna, cadmium orange, titanium white and a bit of burnt umber. I oft times do not like the way my works look in the begin but they always turn out differently at the end. Slowly but surely I’ll get there.

The painting has a life of its own
