| Right now, I'm tired and probably more critical than usual, so I won't make final judgment ... but ... painting the neck has made it loose the floating, emergent, mysterious quality. I'll wait till I've finished the face and mane, Then I might do one more softening [I hope] overall wash. |

| Why green? The color of youth, purity ... it just seemed appropriate. I am off to bed! |
Kathryn, this is amazing stuff you have going on!! Absolutely breathtaking! Reminds me of a semester in college where we had to start with a completely black charcoal paper and erase away our drawings! I haven't implemented these techniques into watercolor but your results are stunning!!
ReplyDeleteIt's morning here, so: good morning!
ReplyDeleteI think it still has that mysterious feeling. You are very good with that technique!
I wish I were qualified to say something constructive, Kathryn ...but, alas ... on the other hand they look totally brilliant to me.
ReplyDeleteGet some time to relax; you've been so busy; stop pushing yourself too hard.
I love your ability to work on several paintings at one time. Both paintings are looking good and your choice of green is perfect with the hair and background.
ReplyDeletePat, I am loving both of these. I really like the color choices and looseness of both of these paintings.
ReplyDeleteQuite often i feel as though a painting is not what I want it to be and then a while later, it begins to really work! I can't see a problem with the horse - it's lovely! I am sure you'll feel more confident the next time you pick up your brush :0) As for the Mona Lisa - fantastic so far!!
ReplyDeleteI like Bruno. Think fog. Sharp and blurred points and planes describing forms on a misty morn. That's all I can offer.
ReplyDeleteFor someone so tired, you did well with the girl. Green is good.
I just love the way the horse is appearing through the mist as if by magic. I think it is going to be fabulous! And there's nothing wrong with taking things really slowly with careful thought. Besides, there's nothing like keeping us all waiting! The Mona Lisa is looking beautiful too :0)
