Painting With Joint Compound As A Base

The first lesson in Wyanne Thompson's You and Me Painting Big class was about using Lightweight Wallboard Joint Compound as a layer for building texture in your painting. I wanted to try doing a painting of my Billizetti character. (The little guy in my blog header.) I've only done him digitally and wanted to try making a physical copy. This is how it turned out. Crazy but fun! Definitely anime and kawaii style.

Be sure to click the painting to see the larger size where you can see the ridges from the joint compound.
