Gruffalo Head - painted ?

Just a pic of a carving that I was asked to do for a kiddies playgroup, head and shoulders of the Gruffalo, 26 ins high and 18 ins wide. I end d up having to paint some of the features in order to ensure it met the expectations of the kiddies.

I'm not sure about painting a carving and was wondering what the carvers out there feel about.

Thanks to you all for the feedback, if a 2 yr old recognises it as Gruffalo then my day is complete :thumbup1:

Dervish I understand what you mean for the kiddies, the visual impact has to represent how they see it on tv or is it iPads these days :001_smile:

 

I'm delivering it on Monday so I will let you know what the verdict is.

I really like your gruffalo, it's very cool indeed.

 

I'd say that if you want to paint a carving, then do it - you obviously know how to make it work.

 

And I know it's not chainsaw carving, but I was checking out painted wooden sculptures on the internet and found this guy - my was mind was blown!

 

Bruno Walpoth - wood

 

Hopefully someone will find his work beautiful and/or inspiring.
