While the kids painted farm animals, dogs, and cats today I painted two more heroes.

I haven't upgraded my supplies yet (those nice brushes and paints look pretty pricey) but I did try thinning my base paints this time to avoid lumpiness. My projects today were Stacey and Amanda. Is it me or is there just not much detail in Amanda's face? I even tried a wash to see if I could pull out more contrast but it really didn't do much.

I let my daughter pick the colors for Amanda and my wife the colors for Stacey although I did throw in an additional color for the skirt because it was supposed to be black and that would have been an overwhelming amount of one color.

The bummer about taking these hi-def close up photos is that after I'm all done I look at the pictures and see little mistakes I didn't see with the naked eye. In addition to the better supplies I could really use that crazy x-acto robot thing with the clips and the magnifying glass!
