Another Process Painting

This is another example of me painting over something on a canvas.

I only do it if there is a little bit of paint like a drawing that just didn't make the cut or an underpainting where the paint has been thinned out a lot. I don't want to work on a rough surface and I certainly and not going to sell it that way either.

This base painting came out really well. You can see the drawing lines still but they are not overwhelming and all the colors are already there. Putting the time in the prep work really pays off.

I went back in and pushed the rendering further and was glad to see that there were not too many drawing mistakes to be fixed. Always glad when that happens.

I stopped here.

Although there is more rendering and everything is shaped more I have lost some of the color.

The next part in the process will be me going back in with some color.

Audiobooks and Art

I know many artists like to listen to music while they paint but I like to listen to audiobooks. I borrow from the library and its usually great but today I was three quarters through when it expired on me (my fault). When I went back in to borrow it, I had to place a hold. So I'll have to wait a week to find out what happened. Blue Hydrangea 096 oil on canvas board 8" by 8" Click to Buy Whenever I look at a painting I can always remember what book I was listening to. In some ways I self title them that way. This one will always be split into two but I got it finished anyway.
