@shahin. How do you do that fabric patter?   What’s the process?  It’s excellent work.

shahin

@GTO,....oh you skin yourself alive that's how. this is so old. if I were to do this again now, I would have done it in such a different way. it would have taken a fraction of the time. most of these are my transitions from naturalism to realism; from silly details to the main idea while still narrating the entire story at the same time. if you beat me with a stick today my hand wouldn't be able to redo this in that way at all. its just not in me anymore. I'd like to think I would turn it much livelier now.

@shahin you didn’t do it wet on wet?  The red purple green went down first and then after that dried you laid down the lines?

shahin

well,. because the damn thing took so long it naturally kept on drying on me so even though i wanted to go wet on wet it wasn't always the case. that is why i'm say this time around i would have done it all wet on wet. yeah, this piece of crap is all torturous buildup over torturous buildup.

@shahin. So you would have appreciated it like you do the hair in a portrait?
