Back to airbrushing, this time with paint.
The innovation here was to create a full background and then paint the leaf on top of it. This kinda violates the philosophy behind the whole leaf ghost thing, creating the leaf as a single graphic element rather than a series of squares in common with the background.
Still, it’s hard to argue with the result. Though I enjoy all the various media and techniques I use to create leaf ghosts, I suspect that airbrushed acrylics will prove to be the biggest crowd pleasers.
And on top of the concentration and effort required to do all the masking, my cats decided to have a battle for the window seat in the studio. It’s a miracle the resulting paint spill didn’t damage anything.
