Accordions and Politics

Thanks guys!! I appreciate the encouragement!

fedezz: Well I put the ink lines down first. Then I dry brushed the blue tone in oil and let that get to being almost 90% dry. Then I used a toothbrush dipped in burnt sienna and scrubbed the pants. That gave a neat look and toned the white of the board with a warm color as well. I used the wax for the cream color around the character. It’s cool for making the faint box around the head. I had did that in my first layer of wax. It’s so thick, that after that first layer dries, anything I put over it is still going to conform to the shapes I created initially. I know that’s kind of a convoluted explanation but hopefully that makes sense! I started using wax after studying briefly with Mark English. He is the master of wax and tar. He pretty much paints out of the hardware store. It’s awesome!

thanks again!
