Happy Independence Day to those who celebrate. I briefly considered increasing the ghost pace during the last week or so to make it to #250 for this one. But after the excitement of Ghost Week last month, I opted against.
This is the first time in awhile that I’ve done one with radically different background colors. That’s Cadmium Red Medium and Titanium White, both with a little Raw Sienna mixed in for a bit of an antique look. The leaf is Ultramarine Blue and Cerulean Blue Chromium right out of the tube.
I mixed in airbrush thinner to get the paint to distribute more evenly, and I also did two passes on all the squares (except the off white ones) to make the brush strokes harder to see. Still fairly visible on the light blue spots, though even those squares look more even if you’re looking at the actual thing rather than this photo.
The leaf looks a little like a flag and a face, giving a strong sense of pareidolia.
