The hot sauce is from my paintings a day over at my other blog. It's a great challenge to paint liquid. This made me think I want to try to paint a spill. Next project!
I usually put my Illustration Friday posts on my older/other blog but I thought I should start to revive this one which is attached to my website. I really just went for this one, it's a bit crazy, odd, it was what came to mind on short notice.
I decided to play with acrylic paints, This is the first. Acrylic on watercolor paper.
I'm running out of time since I need to finish this and ship it by next Tuesday and I have a ton of work in my schedule. So they will just get looser and quicker.. It's a good demand to have put on me anyway..! The top one took about 1 1/2 hours and the bottom was maybe 45 minutes.
