painting progress
- 2026-03-06 In the morning I started the top of the sky. around yesterday’s northern lights in the morning
After work we did the rest of the background, and I added a bit more pale green to the Lights.
- 2026-03-05 we finished colouring the critters, I did the pale green of the Northern Lights, and we are ready to do the background tomorrow
- 2026-03-04 we had just time to add a little colour.
- 2026-03-03 we got the guta over the pencil lines, so now it is ready to paint
- 2026-03-02 we started a banner for Camp Northern Lights. Keldor sketched designs bits, I traced them onto the fabric. We already have the entrance banner, which says “Camp Northern Lights, Everyone Always Welcome”, and this time Keldor wanted to communicate that without any text. This might do it: A Sea Reindeer, sharing a drink with a Unicorn, followed by a trumpet-playing rabbit serenading a dragon, with the help of a bagpipe playing cat, followed by a flaming fox-duck chasing a snail, wearing a sombrero. The Unicorn’s rainbow tail will continue behind the rest of the creatures, and, overhead, a dark blue sky with Northern Lights. It will be interesting to see if we can pull this off.
