these two pics are close-ups of a painting on the easel today. 90% done just wanna tweak a little after I live with em a few days.
note to self: remember how you did this cloud, sky and trees. cloud mass soft and fuzzy, nice color harmonies with the shadow side violet leaning red. shadows on trees are blues and reds with green scrubbed in to change the mass to read green. tree lights are orange with yellow green scrubbed in. skyhole- blue was scrubbed over darker pink and turquoise and light blue scrubbed into the bottom half. sweeeet.
less worries about being literal with the photo which is hard for an ex illustrator/sign painter. like the greens scrubbed over the rich blues and violets, red/violets, and letting bits of the rich color peek out.
all I'm concerned these days are the differences in the masses and less about the reference material. can feel the style shifting. there are very very few places of neutral paint tho' it reads as if there are. the eye is doing a lot of the mixing versus me doing it.
