Some days you just need to do something for fun. Here's to my first oil painting in at least three years.

So today I am doing the first round of photographs for the Hansel and Gretel illustration. I say first because I almost always end up shooting once during the day (with a lamp and the lovely grey Portland light) and another at night (with several lamps and more control). Don't be concerned by the surrounding chaos, it disappears after the first crop.

Layering in the larger pattern work. Smoke next and then Stage 6 will be complete.

Hansel is here! Well, at least his sketch is. I actually have another one of him with a better fitting hat, but this one was more fun to color.  Can't wait to start building him!
