An autumn leaf that I found on my walk today. With this painting I tried to stay very connected with where I was laying my brush stokes and the value and color I was using. For some reason I am beginning to feel very connected with my own style and painting procedure. I know that this sounds rather crazy since have been painting for some time now. The one thing that I was aware of today was value relationships. I worked very hard to lay the correct tones in without too much editing. I did end up wiping out whole areas and starting over several times. I keep thinking about the avoidance of petting the paint. Gosh that makes so much sense.
It's all about the Paint.....
