Mr. Greenwood Tortoise travels over the
countryside. He has within his shell some of the most amazing
chocolates created with his perfectly precision steam contraption. His
secret is kept safe within his shell. Everyone runs to get his candies
before he sells out. Time is always on his side as he travels making a
slow and steady profit.
Pencil Sketch of Tortoise
I am including some of my steps in creating this
painting. My drawing is done in pencil, carefully using a reference
photo to begin the tortoise
shape. I am thinking of what can't be left out
in creating a likeness of a tortoise. I started with the head and drew
in the shell shape first. The shape of the head with the neck
wrinkles were important. I wanted to make sure the bottom of the shell
didn't get lost in the painting. I later decided to add green at the
last minute to enhance the color of the bronze and brown.
I added the water to set him in a place. The
winding water created a feeling of movement in time. It makes you think
"Wow he sure traveled far to bring us his chocolates".
I hope you have been enjoying my steampunk
paintings. Looking forward to bringing you more throughout the month of
September. Have a fun Labor Day Weekend.
