Next Chapter

After looking, reading, and studying all the resources available here and on artist's sites (like William Whitaker, etc.), I've decided to paint this over and begin fresh. I feel the composition is not strong enough. Sally can be depicted in a manner that is more suitable to her personality. She deserves a more active and vibrant pose. (Plus, the whole design could have been thought out better).

I've been knocked back to day one with the addition of oil paints. My acrylic based fabric paint is actually an ink. The colors and color mixing are based on formulas for the printing industry, not artists' pigments. All that I know about color is from using these inks, and oil is a different animal! Please don't misunderstand me, I am having the time of my life and am getting down to serious study now. Sally "will" be back, but in a new and improved model!

Respectfully,
Jean
