Not much of an opportunity to do anything material today, what between chores, shopping with the family and leaving for a work trip (writing this in Melbourne Airport as it happens), I was only able to sneak in a hour tops. I dusted off my airbrush for the first time this year and commenced laying down some layers of paint.
The only mistake was my orientation: I had intended to make the undersides green and the upper surface yellow. On well, no harm done
Presently it is looking quite cartoon-like, not the least because of the paint's gloss. I am thinking a liberal application of washes will tone things down no end - that's the next angle of attack.
