mother continued....

I didn't like the skulls, it appeared too flat to me. So I've begun repainting it to give it more dimension. I also wasn't satisfied with the other ribbon of hieroglyphics on the right side, so I'm going to repaint that as well. I added stripes of color to match the bottom of the vase and darkened the talons on the feet. The faceless babies on the top of the vase, have been painted with a mixture of viridian green and naples yellow. To show the children that never were. So far, I like the curvature of the top and bottom of the vase and middle is still a work in progress. The bottom stripes were done in yellow oxide, naples yellow, pthalo blue, cobalt blue, titanium white, and van dyke brown. So far so good.
