In each case, I started with the darkest tones, then the midtones, then finally making tonal adjustments to bring it together.I began by using a less watery Scarlet Lake and Burnt Sienna mix with the 000 brush to paint the darkest orange tones.

I made this painting about my one my favourite childhood frog characters and this is the fun urban pop art version of him.

I left gaps wherever there were lighter colours and overlapped my paint on the transitions between colours. I began mapping out the different colour areas, beginning with the palest: the slightly grey-green areas around the highlights on the frog’s skin. When those dark tones were dry, I used a mix of Transparent Orange with a touch of Opera Rose, sometimes with some additional Winsor Lemon to paint the orange midtones. Kermit the Frog was first introduced in 1955 and has since appeared in various Muppet projects, including Sesame Street and The Muppet Show, as well as other television shows, feature films, specials, and public service announcements.I compared it with my reference photo and looked for any areas that needed another layer of paint adding to darken them a touch.

I kept the mix watery as I was again trying to match the lightest tonal values within these areas of colour. Doing so is important because capturing the full tonal range within each area of colour is crucial to the 3D realism of the subject as a whole.

I worked on the lighter parts of the bamboo using a watery Payne’s Gray and Winsor Blue Green Shade mix for the highlight area and a (mostly) Winsor Lemon, Permanent Sap Green and Winsor Blue (Green Shade) mix for the yellow-green parts. We love it paired with a complementing colour palette or hung in clever spaces for a distinct statement that is uniquely you. To make the painting process as easy as possible, the drawing needed to be a ‘contour’ drawing, mapping out the outside edges of the frog and bamboo but also any clear edges to shapes of colour within the frog and bamboo. This little frog painting has already brought me so much joy, I’m hoping the recipient of this gift gets even a fraction of that feeling. I stippled the colour, leaving gaps wherever there were highlights and adding more Winsor Lemon for the yellower parts of the frog’s skin.We and our partners use cookies and similar tech to improve your site experience, show you personalised ads, and learn from your behaviour so we can, for example, recommend products you'll love!
