tokyo lanters
here is the finished piece! i wanted to give the look of lanterns floating and i like how this has gone. hylton has quite a funky 70's vibe to him too which is why i did the inner circle pattern from yellow to brown in that way as its similar to the 70's colour scheme that is seen in many an episode of the good life! i'm pretty happy with it, so far the paintings i'm doing for my friends are just getting better as i seem to put alot more love into them then i do when i'm just doing them for myself!
hylton's painting! in 3 steps!
here is the first layer of hylton's painting. he said he wanted me to think about street lights in tokyo (i dont know why!) when i was painting it so i did and so gave the background a dark blue night sky colour with blue glitter on top to enhance this. here i mixed pva with artlic to make the lines going accross the top i did this by holding the wet brush and letting the pva drip accross the canvas quickly to give it the feeling of speediness.
