I started this over break, using acrylic. I wanted it to be Africa inspired, and I had a really good idea with skin patterns from different animals, but it didn't work out so well, because I didn't really add it. I think I might change the lion's skin color to something more bold and not so peachy. I also need to finish the bottom, which will have more trees like the one on the left. I didn't want this to be realistic. I wanted to create something kind of abstract, but not too crazy. I kind of hate it right now, but I'm going to finish  it this week.
 
I finished my tape/texture painting, thing. I added a deer and painted over the two strips of tape I had put on before break, so that when I took it off, it would look like the deer was camouflaged in the trees and branches. For some reason, this painting is really bumpy, and has a really weird texture.
