We’re back to super pale colours, so I’m slightly worried that my phone won’t have picked up colour 12 – a light yellow. Things I’ve learnt today: Yup, yellow barely shows up. Fear not! The colours start getting bolder over the next few days!

Day 11 brings us what I believe is the last of the purple. Tomorrow takes us into more yellowish/brownish hues. Still, I think this purple has really started to make this painting look like an actual something. The flowers and wings are really starting to … Continue reading Wicksy Paints by Numbers – Day 11

We’re getting back to darker purples now. The cloud at the bottom is only a few days away from being finished at this point! That cat is really beginning to pop! Things I’ve learnt today:   Cats probably shouldn’t pop. Day 9 managed to sneak … Continue reading Wicksy Paints by Numbers – Day 10

The cloud at the bottom is definitely starting to look trippy around now. It reminds me of that scene in Alice in Wonderland with the smoking caterpillar for some reason. Day 9 brings us what I have decided is called ‘Purply pink’. Obviously this is … Continue reading Wicksy Paints By Numbers – Day 9

I may have lied a little bit about the Purple everywhere. Colour 8 is in fact pink! Which is still awesome, though not as awesome as purple. That said, I think this painting is really beginning to look like … something. Not convinced it is … Continue reading Wicksy Paints by Numbers – Day 8

I just looked at the colour strip for the next few days – we are in for ALL THE PURPLE! I am very excited by this, of course. Things I have learnt today: I am either getting quicker at this, or the areas I am … Continue reading Wicksy Paints by Numbers – Day 7

Day 6 brings us the pink! It’s beginning to feel like we’re getting a real variation of colours now. That said, some of the colours looks too stark – I’m hoping that effect will be muted when bolder colours come in to play. Things I’ve … Continue reading Wicksy Paints By Numbers – Day 6

Day 5 has seen a change of scenery, where the lighting is somewhat better! I ended up retouching some of the gone-over areas, and then doing colour 5, which is a goldy brownish. Things I learnt today: Lighting makes all the difference. This  cat looks … Continue reading Wicksy Paints by Numbers – Day 5

Day 4 brings – more purple! To be honest, it’s hard to tell the difference between todays shade and yesterdays. Maybe it will look more dramatic when it’s all dried somewhat, or I can see it in day light? Perhaps. The definition is really starting … Continue reading Wicksy Paints By Numbers – Day 4

Day 3 brings us – purple! My favourite colour. It’s a bit of a pale one, but we’re finally starting to see some outlines and detail beginning to emerge, which is quite exciting (for me, at least!). Number 3 was more smaller points, and fewer … Continue reading Wicksy Paints By Numbers – Day 3
