Gourds


Ok . This is truly a one day painting. I will not touch it. Whatever I don't like about it as I live with it, will be corrected in another painting. It certainly helps to draw first...that way the proportion issues aren't as deadly. I don't yet have the urge to do anything to it, though there was a half hour at the end when I was messaging highlights. It is almost like you have to put down the paint, just so you can move it around and make color adjustments. I learned that Veridian green is deadly...a small amount of it will totally take over other colors....somehow when one is glazing , it doesn't feel quite as powerful.
This really is a departure from how I usually paint. But I think a good one.
