Next painting in my toys series!

More toys on canvas...

For this painting I was semi-inspired by some impasto techniques, and the effects that can be achieved by simply applying paint to the canvas. My initial idea was to create a paint toy mix and apply that to the canvas, but I forgot about the effects of gravity, so I attached the paint smothered toys to the canvas using simply (in most cases) oil paint. In a couple areas I cheated and adhered the figures that fell off with acrylic caulking. For the most part, this is pretty much just white oil paint on canvas.
