This was my first attempt to use wax resist to create the underwater sunlight effect. I went a bit overboard and wasn't happy with the overall result, but this was also my very first orca painting and I like how it came out, botched sunlight notwithstanding.
Does anyone even use websites any more? I didn't see the point in keeping mine, since I'm easy enough to find on Facebook. (Or "Meta" - whatever.) (Inexplicably, googling my name brings up Twitter first, and I haven't posted there in years.)
I realised I could find much better uses for the money it cost to maintain the site, so I let it lapse.
RIP thananiveau.com and hello broken links in all those old articles that link to it!
I haven't been able to do any painting for a few weeks so I'm a bit rusty. But I quite like this whale shark - from an "easy" tutorial by Emily Olson Art.
