Painting the dog was fun, and seemed to flow for me----the rest, not so much! Sure am wondering where I am going with this! I did choose a limited palette, to make mixing easier. I left this for about 2 days, then tried again today with the horses head and got this far.
This picture seems to have gotten a lot of shine reflected back into my camera--I did shut off the flash. I am painting in my home by the bay window that faces to the North. Really nice to be at home, but I have to say----Plein-air painting is still my favorite!!! So, as I paint more I will post and let you know how this experience is going for me!
It is starting to come together wonderfully Ida! Judging from the way horse's head looks like, the rest will be spot on too! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Dado!! Oils are so different! I began with watercoler, my artistic journey, and I think that and pastels and just drawing is where I will stay!! This is a bit intimadating!!! Your pastels are so wonderful, hope you really excel this year!
