It Is DEFINITELY Easier Painting Large

The John Deere
1st attempt
2nd go - starting with vivid shadows
Looking a bit like a tractor
I think it will rest at this stage tonight



   Believe it or not, the first attempt did have bright colors to start in a very wet wash; they chose to blend into a warm grey mud. Second one is looking more interesting, but I must say, working in a smaller format [11 x 7.5 inches] is a bit nit-picky. But the basic colors are down, so it should be easier from here.

  2. This is already looking great.. I hope it comes out a great painting. I liked how you have let the colors mix in the shadows. May be you'll like some softer edges where the tyre meets the shadow. Just a thought.

  6. How interesting Kathryn you started with the shadow. It is the most intriguing part isn't it?! I am learning these days in my Sculpture Class that the shadow is what makes the Sculpture vocal.
    Thank you,
