I gave my son a few primed test Prints I had around the office, and left him to it... And with no direction he pulled off this great King Goose.

When he's ready to actually listen to advice and be taught technique, he's going to be a better painter than I am. 3/3

I was a bit nervous, because last time I did that, half a bottle of Tallasar Blue ended up on my floor - but I'm a firm believer that kids need to be allowed to make mistakes and take chances. 2/?

Going to let the existing oil cure for a day, then varnish this and try to Go Grimdarker!

And I think it worked too well because it didn't really change much besides adding a bit of a grunge look. I probably should have added a little Van Dyke Brown into the oil slush to really pull the Grimdarkittude up. The great thing about oil washes is I can still go back and do that! /3

Thank you!

The Rubber Duck Mimic is definitely still one of my favourite designs ❤️ pretty sure I quoted John in the description 😂

I'm old enough to remember when Halo 1 was planned as a PC game before Xbox came around 😂 they actually used it in an nvidia commercial in ~2001
