Observations: I’m discovering that I need to have a separate clear water brush with me, as I don’t often have enough time to wash out my brush first. Seems also like a waste of paint if it was done after the first stroke.
Also, I keep switching papers, going from my sketchbook to Arches. I want to be proficient in both, and they both react differently. It’s kind of like an science experiment.

ReplyDeleteKrista....I commented on this painting on your blog. I love it. So warm and sunny.... I can hear the bird song...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, warm, and glowing!
ReplyDeleteHmmm, love that you're getting more daring in your subject matter.
ReplyDeletePainting backlight items are tough especially as they almost always call for very strong values. At least 4 value shades between the lightest light of an object and its darkest dark. 1 next to a 5, 2 next to a 6 or even more.
I do see darker values in this than what I'm used to seeing, Krista. Good job!
