A Meeting With Mr Malky...
Here is the latest outing for the reflective memories of Mr Dan. The guy he's playing with by the sea is called Mr Malky, a Marshmallow made creature who has a tendancy of messing around by the fire a bit to close.
Though this image is fairly simple composition wise it has been a pain in the ass to get the balance of colour's right, i have changed it 5 times and looking at in now i'm still not sure, have decided to put it away for a while to regain some sanity.
I do like Mr Malky though, think him and Mr Dan could be spending a lot of time together.....

Live Painting Shennanigans....
Though i'm normally fond of a tropical climate it was bloody hot on Saturday, nice to bask in and enjoy, not really the best conditions to paint in. Not being able to find a shaded spot i got stuck in anyway and now have a one part sunburn't piece of my arm to thank for it.
Thought id opt for a change, normally i tend to prefer painting female portraits, this time i chose to paint my grandad which he reluctantly agreed to.
Messsed about with having a heavy black outline around the image to create a semi-realistic/comic affect. In my opinion its not my finest work (then again my live painting never is) but the approach has opened up different possibilities in how i can take my portrait approaches forward. Anyway think my grandad didnt mind it.....
Now about to apply another heavy wad of after sun cream on my arm.
