The Storybook Comes to Life step 5

Yesterday I took pictures of Bald Eagles on Mattagami River.



Here is where I am on the library painting. I have the complete concept all worked out now and it is just a matter of finishing.

The book trompe l'oiel effect is about 1/3 done and takes a lot of masking tape to create a book effect. :( The acrylic grisaille (black and white underpainting) is 1/2 done on the girls' skin and then the background story book has to be finished in acrylic.


When that is all done I will do quick transparent oil layers on the girls to achieve realism on them only.

To see all the stages of the painting go to this page.
