A painting for a friend. Artboard - Gouache paint
The original sketch. I regret covering the lotus there on the right. I think I drew it quite well. But, the grass felt right to paint.
I cannot find my reference photos. I mixed a lot of different images and photos to create this look.
Halfway painted. I decided that I hated the flowers in the back. I am not very experienced with forest shrubery. The mushrooms are chanterelles.
"He's just a little guy!"
A painting for a friend. Gouache paint on watercolor artboard.
I have included raw images of my process. The final product is edited used Adobe Lightroom in order to bring clarity and get rid of glare created from taking a photo of the piece. The painting has already been shipped as it is a gift, so I have no other ways to take pictures of it.
I cannot find my reference photos in my computer because I am a disorganized mess. I used a mixture of adobe stock images and google images for inspiration to mix together. I used 3 different photos of frogs to make the pose.
