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.

    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.

    I so agree with you about it being easier painting larger! Love the bright colors and can't wait to see this one take shape:)

    The painting is coming out really neat. I cant wait to see the finished version. And thank you so much for the nice and constructive comment. I am wondering if any of my friends is receiving updates about my latest posts. Are you getting any of them, as should normally happen.

    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,
    Irina
