Painting a large piece pushes me, loosens up my tendency to tight brushwork because…tiny strokes would be of little impact. Most important is value, color and shape/composition! Even more important than painting the perfect leaf or reflection…the painting relies on me looking at it abstractly. Does it feel right? Do the shapes tell a story, draw the viewer in to travel throughout the scene?
Here’s the progress so far on my fall scene - - -
Wish me luck ad I continue to add darks (but keeping some sparkle), shapes and reflections!
