Hi Kim,
Yes he's holding his big, fat, ever present, stogie. He doesn't smoke it when playing Santa though. Sometimes it's lit, most times it's not. His hand will make more sense when all the parts are in.
I tried using the mix of Alizarin Crimson and Sap Green for the warm shadows and don't like it at all. It seems too warm and violet. I may have mixed it wrong so will try again or use something else. (3/4 AC +1/4 SG)
My foreground is not going to be that intense green (Sap Green) it has many grasses poking up through the bench and table, also on the left side. I'm just trying it as a "base" color. I'm doing this as a freebie, so can experiment as much as I want. Steve is providing me with wood scraps to paint on, sanding services, and other misc. stuff, so I can have some fun with this one.
Jean
ps, I'll be fixing his deformed cheek (his left) today.
