A further successful day with Sublime...

Below are a few examples of lions currently in the den just to show you the designs from other artists.

After liaising with Helen it was clear that no meat or cheese was allowed to be painted onto Sublime as we were advised, by Subway, to focus on bright and fresh vegetables. The main focus on the painting of Sublime has been on his tomato mane and peppers going from his front left leg to his barrel. Helen and I worked well together constantly changing what section we were doing to create variation and make sure the painting was accurate and something we were both happy with.

A Further Idea

A thought came to mind when I looked at the back of the lion; the yellow tail looked a bit out of place going from the lion’s green body straight to a bright yellow tail. After a visit to Subway (making good use of my Subway vouchers!) I took pictures of the vegetables within Subway. I was inspired by seeing a picture of a piece of pepper which had been sliced. I thought that this, in yellow, would look good placed at the top end of the lions tail. This way the colours can be eased in staying close to the theme of freshness. This way the tail would look like it emerges from the pepper.

Tonight pictures of chillis are going to be printed out in order to obtain the right shape and form of a chilli to place on the lion. More peppers will be added to Sublime varying in colours and tones of green, red and yellow (as shown in the picture below). More detail is going to be added to the vegetables such as lighting effects; painting white dew drops and shimmery surfaces to each vegetable.

Any further ideas or comments are more than welcome!
