Psychedelic Lizard (WIP)

in #art7 years ago

Viviparous lizards (Lacerta vivipara)

I'm not going to tell you what color the lizard will be. I can say it won't be brown!

I was up before 5am today and started working on my new mixed media piece. The lizard will be done in colored pencil, the background watercolor, outlined in pen and ink. This piece is coming together fast but I need a nap. See you all on the other side of today.

Oh I forgot, I covered the lizard in masking fluid. A type of liquid glue that is easy to remove once no longer needed. But that also depends on the quality of paper and the glue. If one buys cheap paper and glue one can rip up the surface of the paper and have to start all over. Last sentence was from hard won experience. Masking fluid offers peace of mind when working on the background and I don't have to worry about dripping paint all over my subject.

18 x 12 inches, 190lb watercolor paper, pen, and ink.

I was browsing through my home stream here on Steemit a week ago and saw this amazing photograph catching the details of lizard scales. I went into bliss, yeah I am weird that way, I love details, especially if they have to do with patterns. I love drawing details, I leave time and everyday thoughts and just draw, like I am the pen and paper.

amaze me with your incredible ability, imagination like you are not much owned by the crowd, I like the way you describe the animal as real, good work and amazing, amazing and propesional

No one owns me except me....I respect the muse of the masses but I walk the lonely path with just a few friends now and then....I try and change but I end up walking by myself most of the time. I don't mind, I like myself, I make good company with my imagination. Thank you @zulfikar-fx <3 I take this as a compliment.

I am motivated with your words and also I am inspired by your struggle, I know there is no easy thing with the struggle of life but we can only try to change it as much as possible and as we can, when we fail we walk in loneliness I can feel it will be the loneliness that I experienced but I am aware of one thing that failure is our great teacher in life to improve from the mistakes we have ever made, your success is my happiness

I've been dating for some time and you've forgotten me since there are so many... See if you remember this...
"Not 57, Looks like 37.. If I unmarried, I'm going to marry you.."

I know you from your last visit, but I forget to check your posts if you don't stop by and say hello. It's painting all day that makes me so forgetfully and antisocial...I am social if you remind me !
