WIP Lamb Animal Art Original Painting Work in Progress + May Sketches, Sketch 27, Mermaid...

In this original acrylic work in progress WIP painting of a lamb, I've changed the background.  It is now warmer than it was, however it isn't showing its true colors in the scan.  I still have quite a ways to go with this painting, I've blocked in the lambs fur, but I have lots of shading and details to add.  The eye that is showing is pretty much done though.  When I finish this piece, I'll try to take a photograph of it in the hopes of getting an image that reflects the true colors of the background better.  This is an 8"x10" painting on panel.  I'm still working on "Pandora" from last week, I'm hoping to have her done for Tuesday, although that may be the last time I list an original on ebay for a while.

This is a work in progress, but I also usually post at least one finished piece on Tuesdays if you'd like to come to visit!  You also may see some of my finished paintings at www.lisarusso.com if you'd like.

I'm joining in this week with Paint Party Friday.  To see more participants, please visit:

Here is a sketch of a big eyed gothic maiden.  Her long hair is flowing around her.  I think she is most likely a mermaid, although she could also be an angel fairy or a goddess.  I'm unsure if I'll paint her or not, but I did enjoy sketching her.


I've decided to try and do a sketch a day in May.  This is day 27.

This is a rough sketch.
