rants and whatnots about art and my creative process
I finished painting the soles and picked up some laces. Here are some notables:
- Using acrylics on the soles requires 2 coats
- I won’t be painting the soles further, deviating from the original idea. Also, the green on the soles is more saturated than both other greens, however, it seems to work out better (no kidding!)
The red laces are really red. I was going to paint the remaining panels exactly the same hue as the laces, but instead, I’ll use a desaturated red. Click on pic for hi-res.
Here’s what I’ve done since my last update:
- Painted the contrasting watermelon green stripes
- Painted the soles white (except for the part that’ll have the watermelon colors)
I went shopping for laces yesterday and decided that pink won’t work. At least not the hot pink that’s widely available. I’ll likely go with a light red. The laces color will ultimately determine the red hue for the final panel to be colored.
