Realised that it's no longer the blue that mattered - though perforce that dominates - but Cerunnos who has entered the frame, as it were.
As a god, it seemed decent to paint him in luminous paint. Which sat sweetly on the paper. I'd already decided to use transparent scarlet ink to control the blue and that worked well. Then -as I'm also working on a painting that features deer - quickly and un-reflectedly used a brushful of deer-stuff for the shoulders.
Liked it and stopped. Won't know for a few days when everything has dried if the luminous paint actually works.
The other deer painting is an old one that never really cut the mustard, that I'm trying to make into a post-covid memorial. Hmm.
