I have started working with casein paint lately, and I have to say that it is the Best Thing Ever. It behaves like watercolors if watercolors behaved like oil paint, if that makes sense. It stays workable, is water soluble, and I think it smells nice, especially compared to some paints.
It’s also totally matte when it dries, can be taken completely back up off your painting surface, eventually cures and becomes water resistant, and I can draw on it once it’s dry.
Subsequently, paint is happening. Paint is happening now.
Brief update: the artist in residence is letting me use half of her studio, so I have a place to work now. Sweet blessed work space.
And a close-up of the witch herself. A lot of this is going to have a pretty different line quality once it’s actually cut, but this gives me a starting point.
I'm going to do one of those "look at how much I improved", but I am going to cheat. I'm going to pick a character I made when I was 11, and now I'm 28 and do art for a living.
There are many animals that live in my house.
