Tried out some paint

A few weeks ago I had picked up some acrylic paint with the hopes of using it to make small and intricate details on pieces. Not waiting to ruin a piece on my first shot I just made up a blank ball python and painted it. I was hooked, painting is super fun and allows for much more fluid markings and lets so much more detail through then just the clay.

Check them out and I would love your thoughts on my newer work compared to my older stuff.

First Painted Piece, Normal ball python



LOVE the head detail on this one



The paint allows for much more fluidity so I finally tried a bumblebee, this guy has pink in his heat pits and everything!



And finally its been so long since I did a Carpet so I made up this little Jaguar who has quite the mean look about him, love this one too.




Thank you so much for looking !

Re: Tried out some paint

Little Mystic Potion I did for a commission, love how the paint allowed me to get that nice fade from back to belly that the real things have

Haha, cool! Your art reminded me of my snake Louise and then so on. You are very skilled.
