Froggy for Paint Party Friday

Here's is a little frog aceo for PPF. I cheated and looked at a picture from a mini stain glass craft book. I have to do that to draw anything halfway realistic looking, other wise everything looks like cartoons or petroglyghs, lol. Tomorrow we are going to a gem and mineral show, yipeeeeeeee! Happy PPF everyone!

  12. Nothing wrong with consulting a reference for your drawings...ahem...I seem to remember someone (cough..you..cough) catching a gecko and photographing it for a rather marvelous painting.

    Great frog, not at all petroglyphy (not that there is anything wrong with that). Have a great time at the gem show.

  24. The frog is a wonderful painting. While I loved watching the skink painting evolve, I also enjoy seeing things you've done more quickly. I can't draw anything except mountains, flowers and faces without looking at a picture.
