Rambi, I enjoy painting mostly landscapes and seascapes. I don't know how much experience you have in this area. You may be more advanced than me. But I find that negative shading rather than outlining my initial drawing, using light feathering, rather than using heavy pressured lines usually gives me a good foundation. With this, I basically have a grayscale picture that the color values and shades fall into place. If I don't like it, I can scrape it off and start over. That's the beauty of oil painting. My sister uses acrylics, and paints over it if she doesn't like it. But the texture gets kind of lumpy and bumpy. Especially when you are using a palette knife. I put newspapers down on the floor underneath my easel, scrape up the colors I need with my palette knife and go to town on the canvas, in time with whatever music I happen to be listening to. I have a lot of fun painting. I have been offered money and sold some of them. But other ones are like my children. I have put so much of my blood, sweat, heart and soul into them that there is no price. They will never be sold while I'm still breathing. I hope your design turns out well.
