Hubert is my first Gnome. I painted him the other night. Making Hubert was an exorcise with an eye to future occupation. The plan was to make Hubert with what I had on hand and see how he did.
When I started painting I wasn't happy that all I had were jewel tones...
I used pearl white for his shirt and eyes, and I mixed 5 drops white with 1 drop gold for his skin.
My options for hair and beard where a couple of flat browns or jewel tone red.
Of course I went red.
He is the head of his clan, so, of course, he got a gold hat.
I think he turned out OK. I actually like the sparkle. Hubert did well in test marketing. He got quite a few smiles.
Evil Hubert. First Gimp project? Find a fire or a cauldron....
It's something to think about.
O well done! Time to open your Etsy store!
ReplyDeleteThank you, and wow, had no idea that was out there. I bookmarked Etsy. Have to go back later, when I have more time to really check it out. Thanks for the lead. ;->
