May 21, 2022 -- Chore Day and Mexican Circus Tents

Today’s chores were pretty much the same as last week’s: laundry, vacuuming the house, and gardening. Normal stuff. After taking Nacho for his afternoon walk, I had time to open Clip Studio Paint and start painting a background image showing the kids arriving in Acapulco. In the background are circus tents. I used my imagination to paint the initial sketch, then I thought: “These are boring tents. They look like an eight-year old drew them.” That’s when I realized it was time to look a some references.

As you can see in the tiny reference picture, Mexican circus tents are really eye catching.
