Stage three : the reds and yellows
Ok so I wasn’t feeling the love when I got in but some Pet Shop Boys on iTunes, a mail from a good friend and a hearty meal woke me up.
I’ve decided to paint out the blacks and take some artistic license with the base of the painting.
I got quite a rhythm going with the reds and yellows (covering my arm in paints in the process)
I’m going to stop here and let it dry throughly for a few days before staring again. I’m in danger of making the sun bigger with every new coat!
I like the proportions now, the colours feel vibrant enough. I need to come back and layer the mist at the bottom before labelling out the sky (which I kind of hate at this point)
It’s not a million miles from where I want it to be but it wouldn’t be me if I didn’t repaint it at least once an annoy myself for painting over something good!
I’m relying on you to tell me when to stop!
Anyway, let me know what you think of progress so far…
Hey, great painting …LoVe that sky! My friend and I run a weekly colour challenge blog and every six weeks we have a colour splash. I found one of your photos on flickr and wondered if we could use it? We’d credit you and link your blog.
Of course you can. Many thanks for including my painting and asking me.
thankyou
