Pelican Detail

Distressed, Pelican

This is a painting of a Northern Pelican. It was created using Acrylics mostly with a hit of oils on top. The substrate used is a cel film used typically by old school animators. I find the surface smooth and light to work on. The ability to sand and rub off items unwanted is a real benefit of working on synthetic substrates. I usually work very fast and in multiple thin layers. And this process seems to allow for that.
