      I just nearly finished my very first PYO – A wolf I named Haru, because it´s spring and I think he is a very cheerful being 🙂

      It was really adventurous and funny to get all the materials I wanted because it seems that nearly all of the acrylic paints you get here in Germany are too thick for the PYOs although the nice ladys in the artstores said I could use any of the paints… When I asked if there were any differences in the quality (beacuse I wanted to have good paints not some that will loose their color in sunlight or come off the figure like I read some of the cheap ones tend to do) they said there were no differences… Why I don´t just use Lacquers one of them wanted to know and looked at me like I was stupid when I said I would rather take the acrylic paint because I read that laquers are not recommended for these pieces. What a nice lady!
      It also seems there are no things like antiquing mediums here. So after getting nearly the same answers at different artstores I finally ordered everything online from a store in UK.

      And after anxiously awaiting all the materials, yesterday I finally had the time to paint him 🙂
      I was soooo nervous when I started but it was great fun and I think for my first piece he turned out really well, but I´m still unsure if I should antique him or not. I think I like him the way he is so I will just have to put a nice finish on him then he is ready for display.
      I hope you like him!

                He’s beautiful! Very warm colors.

                You can dilute acrylic paints, if that makes your life easier for next time.

                  Very nice! I think you did a great job on the feathers, nice detail and your blending and shading is great. 🙂

                    Thank you very much for all your nice comments! I´m glad you like him!

                    Yes I know and I did with the paints I have now (liquitex soft body), but it was a bit of a battle in the beginning between too much and not enough thinner. Most of the time I used too much :p I don´t want to imagine how much I would have used with thicker paints…
                    But I think now I know the basics and I won´t have so much problems next time.
                    Can´t wait for my holidays, then I will have time to do the next piece!

                    This really is addictive… 🙂

                      I used my holidays well and here is my first dragon. He does not have a definite name yet.
                      Originally he was inspired by the different colors of the leaves when the sun shines through them. But… Whenever I look at him he reminds me of the colors on the leaves of my Avocado-Plant :p
                      But Avocado really is no name for a dragon, don´t you think?
                      Anyway here he is 😀

                        He’s beautiful! And I think the name Avocado is adorable. 😀

                          Avocado is perfect! I just sold a small dragon that I had named Artichoke 😛

                          He’s beautiful!

                            Avocado suits him beautifully!

                            I love him. The greens just flow so well from one to the next!

                              I think you captured that perfectly!
