"Lamacita Wants A Kiss"

I enjoyed doing the first "Llmacita" so much, I had to do another one!  Photo ref. is one I took when we visited Linda and Jeff Mueller, last year.  (See previous post).


"Llamacita Wants A Kiss", Pastel, 8"x6"

Here are some work in progress shots:

Thought my sky was too light, so blued it some.  Something was still bothering me about it, so put it in my colored pencil app. and darkened the sky.  That did make Llamacita stand out more.  So, I added trees in the app. and liked the effect.  


On the painting, I made the sky more turquoise (more complementary to the llama's color).  Then I added the trees.  The painting then said it was finished.


Thanks for looking!!
