The pencils for this Muppet painting were completed before I started Fozzie, but I didn't feel ready to jump into the painting stage until now. I had to redraw it after applying the acrylic wash because most of my graphite washed away. Usually, I clean up the pencils with a colored pencil finish since the wax keeps it from disappearing, but I wasn't thinking at the time. Now, with the colored pencil layer over the acrylic, the pencil pigment blends into the oil paint. I'm trying to make the most of that effect, but it involves additional layers of paint once the base dries a bit.
