Well, this one is better than yesterday and I actually really enjoyed painting it. I have learned that value is the key. I also think that I must keep my brush much cleaner and not drag so much from stroke to stroke.
Oh, I have these little birds, too! I read your last post and was JUST going to say, it's all in the value! Then I read this post! I got some clear red acetate that I look at tough subjects though, and it drills the values down FOR you. Got it at Utrecht. But you did just fine here without it, I see... Lovely piece!
6"X 6" Oil Ampersand Gessobord $125.00 I'm ready to chill out after this one. It was really HARD! So many petals going all different ways. I am pleased with the results. I have to laugh at myself....I thought of showing a step by step process in the painting of this peony....but....never looks like anything until the last few strokes! I am happy with this painting however I got here. This painting is found here :
