Layers & layers of paint

Just a couple of images tonight. It's been a busy 3 days; I'm making steady progress, although very slowly, on Superfoodland! The colors are finally starting to come together in a candyland sort of a way. Anyhow, I have to be up in another 6 hours so that I can get out to Hillsboro to de-install Intersect/Parallel by 10am, so not much documentation to go along with the photos. But I'm probably not going to make it on time anyhow.



I'm putting the pigments on in very thin layers, starting with darker colors underneath and then sanding, and building up to the lighter colors on top. In the image, you just see the flat colors, but there's really more depth to the colors in real life.

Thanks, everyone!

Yes, we'll have to have a potluck and play the game when it comes back from PA. We are looking at different options for doing the installation here in PDX too.
