ah well..why wait when you have an idea, time and Metina said go ahead?

I think you are having a million ideas! so cool, please keep posting I love it!

sweet Michelle, loving those baby cakes.

so good Michelle!
I was thinking I should try and get in first on this one before someone did something that intimidated me out of submitting - but too late!

- I'm still going to do mine before someone has the same idea and executes it better! So many talented artists around here now you have to be quick! lmao

Be gentle...lol...my daughter actually let me paint her!!!..im in shock

great job guys! I have it in my head....now to just get it on my face....

love your waterworld!

and Tash..I also get intimidated by some artists..but hey..I am really having fun with some of the challenges here!

michelle im so sorry...your dolphins are awesome...was so nervous about posting forgot to add that..but then again all of yours are awesome! i kinda took for granted and assumed you knew it

aah..thank you so much..but i don't assume anything though..not everything i do comes out the way I'd like..but then again..I just don't show these designs usually.

thse dolphins I did aren't very realistic looking..but i must say I like the more cartoonlook anyway!!...I love it when designs are a little fun!

you did a great job on your dolphin!

Oh wow, seems we are off to a flying start!
Beautiful dolphins girls!

Here is my attempt, painted with Arty cakes, mermaid and aussie mermaid. As well as wolfe white and black and wolfe sparkle white for the base.
I also used a 1/2inch flat for the wave base, 1/4inch flat for the white tips of the waves, A number 1 round for the dots and black outline and a #12 filbert for the dolphin.


Step 1: Sponge a metalic white base over the eyes.
Step 2: (Beneath step 1... top right is step 5) Using the mermaid split and the 1/2 inch flat swirl on the waves.
Step 3: Repeating step 2 on the other eye (this time I made most of the waves under the eye)
Step 4: Using a 1/4 inch loaded with white I painted on the tips of the waves, I painted a few layers to get a white white over the very tips of the waves.
Step 5: Using the filbet brush loaded with the Aussie Mermaid I painted the body of the dolphin curving and twisting the brush out to a fine point. Using the same brush I pressed down to create a line for the nose.
Step 6: Still using the same brush as step 5 I added the tail and top fin.
Step 7: Outline the dolphins using the #1 round loaded with black. Also adding a small fin on its side and an eye just across from the nose.
Step 8: Using the #1 round, and slightly wetter white (not too wet as you don't want it to dribble) place lots of different sized dots, very close together, overlapping, and spreading out the further out you go. Highlight the tips of the waves and the water beneath the dolphin with these dots. Add in a couple of highlights on the dolphin and the dolphins eye as well as few stars around the out side of the design and you are done!

Tra nice underwater effect.

Daizy sweet design.

so sweet Christi! love the water..

...anyone notice the yawning child? Yawning is totally contagious.....



must be all that school work

Thanks Mr Daizy, thanks for pointing that out.










*yawn*

What goldfish dream about

Great dolphins! I should have done some sbs a few weeks ago... I had a "Dolphin Dash Event"(field day) at a school... Whitney came along & we must have painted 20 dolphins each

As Kim would say....warning pic heavy!

Did a Brady Neher tutorial today on FABA Tv - can't half tell hey. So, made this up as I went along (as he says he does) and this is what happend. I would do lots different if to do it again, but since I did take sbs pics, I figured I'd enter it anyway.

I used all DFX paints. Sponge and number 4 round brush.

Colours: Black, white, light blue, dark blue, metallic green and metallic red for lips.


Sponged on white dolphin shapes.

Sponged on light blue and then over the top a little dark blue. Made a start on waves with white.

Sponged on a mix of blue and green to try create a wave from dolphins tails, and outlined dolphins.

Outlined waves and sponged on some white to try create water wash effect.

Finished with dots, stars and lippy.

Nice Rae!!!!!
But i miss the dolphin eyes.

What tha? I am still stuck on gore. Totally missed the new comp starting! Definitely off to a running start on the June comp. I'm with Tash - I'm already intimidated!
