What a couple of weeks. I’ve not found much time for posting… Thankfully I’ve still found a little time for painting and have a few backlogged paintings that will be fun to share in time!
Today, I am finding the space to post and it’s an exciting one.
I took extra care on composition, placing the CENTER of the flower on a rule of thirds, and the exit point of the V created from the center on another point of thirds. In my humble opinion, it worked.
I also worked with a different underpainting than I’m used to with this nice bright blue. It’s a leftover panel from a mural project I competed with elementary schoolers last week. Feels great to be using old supplies and trying new things!
This is one of three paintings I’ve made from a bouquet Ryan got for me to have waiting when I returned a week ago from my residency. I love that I will get to look at the bouquet’s beauty for years to come now 🙂
NOTES:
I feel like I have so much to learn still. I want to get stronger with my use of values, smarter in organizing my palette, and find more intuition in my compositions. I think it’s working… But wow. What a great adventure I see ahead.
