Painting At the End of the Day
 |
| In progress acrylic, Lake Champlain |
Greens are not easy to mix. The video (previous post) helps my mind settle in.
Painting by light bulb isn't ideal. Tomorrow daylight will be better for the next phase of painting. I didn't feel like watching live stream tonight. So I sat down to paint instead.
(Not diggin' the tree on the right.)
It is late. Early dinner, I now feel hungry. A light snack and reading before my day goes into slumber mode.
The work in progress looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny, I know I could never paint, but I'm not phased by using fabric. My next project is to try to make some too-red fabric much duller and have already tried coffee dye and that didn't work...so...next experiment is to water down some black fabric paint and see what happens. Might be a total failure, but won't know until I try. It doesn't scare me to experiment with a chunk of fabric but try to lay a paint brush onto a canvas and I panic.
ReplyDeleteAll that drivel, just to say that you have a great start!
Thank you William
ReplyDeleteIf I don't over think it, the it will br finished soon.
I love how you can decide to paint and then produce such beauty! That is a true gift, my friend!
ReplyDeleteMaryanne,
ReplyDeleteGreen tones down red.
Red tones down green.
Thank you, Marie.
ReplyDeletePainting is relaxing for all levels.
You are a great painter! Please keep it up. I know what you mean about over-thinking a painting. I am working hard to get the voice out of my head that is saying I just can't paint anymore. I'm struggling with it. Been thinking of emailing you...Have a great weekend..
ReplyDeleteDebra,
ReplyDeleteFeeling unsure about painting, I believe, is normal. Exploring our artistic possibilities is a stroll through the unknown. That is not always a walk in the park. :)
Thank you for the encouragement. Your words create a voice that says...Keep going.
I agree with you about greens. I MIGHT have something I can send you about that if I can find it in my computer. It's related to watercolor not acrylic or oil but I think the principles are the same. It will be a beautiful painting.
ReplyDeleteJeanie,
ReplyDeleteGreens are the most challenging aspect of summer forrest landscapes.
Keep painting, my friend. You do have a talent with it. Not everyone does. ; )
