Yay, I may actually finish this thing! Finished the linework and took a first pass at paint. Tomorrow I'll do another pass at paint and call it done.

Thanks! I'm hoping to finish the linework tonight and start the (scary) painting process.

Thanks Bogie!
Um, my color palette is ... wingin it. I started with these and have just been mixing them as I go.
Edit: Wow, that pic uploaded from tapatalk was obnoxiously huge. Moved to an attachment.

They certainly make for a nice, harmonious combination.
<Googles Serpentine Genuine>
So, your map will ward off harm I guess. A good omen indeed.This Australian green-color serpentine is of a variety called Stichtite. A soft stone used cross-culturally for carving amulets used to ward off harm, our newest PrimaTek has no comparison in any known paint palette. This surprising, semi-transparent paint is a good green that develops granulation with specks of burnt scarlet – a great addition to your landscape and floral palette.
Thanks!
And yes, even though green isn't "primary" I always use that one because it's not lying about the awesome granulation.

It's tough to mix all your greens and get them to look consistent. Unless of course you mix a giant puddle for the whole painting. Better to have a starting green you like and nudge it around as you see fit I think.
Agreed! Next time I buy paint I want to get a good brown I can do the same with. It's really a pain to mix browns.

Love it! The linework is really dynamic and the subtle colours throughout are fantastic Gidde.
