Weekly Paint Progress: 10/8


This week the sunflowers went from this …

… to this:

EB774A23-1C3E-46EA-8941-DC9809AABD9B
I went forward, and then I took some parts backwards, back down to white, so I can start again.

… and the pears went from this …

A04F123A-1BF6-4A3A-9AFE-55DEAD06A6DD

… to this:

4B549E38-87BE-4CE6-8BDA-367E6E2261F5
… and I was aiming for this:

Fair. Green Pear is overworked, Red pear Is all wrong on the top edge.

  1. I can see the “overworked” more clearly now that I see what you were going for – thank you (at least, I am assuming “less smooth, more jittery/spotty/scratchy” is the thing?).
    But still, your final pear painting looks really, really nice!
    Ah, sunflower; one part gets sent back to the beginning of the board game… so it goes.

  2. KC – it’s hard not to make it streaky and splotchy “� there a clear goo you have to mix with the paint, and I don’t mix it enough, it would seem.

  3. That makes sense! I was wondering if your paint was too dry or something. I wonder how people normally mix it?

  4. KC – I think after practice you just sense how much glazing medium per parts of paint you need.
