| I've had the urge to go back into some of my older work - pieces that were all right, but so-so. This is the original portrait I did of my hay guy. |
 |
| I stapled it on a board, and went to work. I have done a w/w varied application of quin. burnt orange and quin. red on the right, with indanthrone blue added to the mixture on the left. |
 |
| I have just gone over it again with a wash of alizarin crimson, stronger on the left. I must say I really like the change. |
 |
| This is another oldie that looks like it's been in a bit of a fight. This one I had to tape to a board, as the edges were so uneven. |
 |
| I have done one dark w/w wash of quin. burnt orange, quin. violet and indanthrone blue. It looks much more striking, but needs at least one more dark glaze. As always, your comments are most welcome! |
Wow.. It's so neat how much a few more glazes can change a piece of art! These were great improvements to already great pieces Kathryn.. Thanks for posting :) Jen
ReplyDeleteExcellent changes...I really like the dark background on the horse, Kathryn! It makes the horse really pop. I love this painting!!
ReplyDeleteYour art keeps getting better and better- when we think its already perfect! But you do a little more- and "presto" more magic!

I love your corrections. More the subjects emerge with a better harmony.
ReplyDeleteBold moves to make, kudos!
ReplyDeleteI must say you are very patient... Once I'm done with a painting, I really am done with it! I don't think I've ever gone back to one before, lol!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how a background can change a painting so much!
And the horse is amazing :0)
Kathryn, I think it's so cool that you have revisited some of your earlier paintings and have made some changes to them! I love the improvements you've made to the backgrounds by making them more saturated which really brings them to life. Kudos to you!
ReplyDeleteHello Kathryne:) Sometimes I think you are too hard on yourself! But as always your work is wonderful. Love the dark background behind the horse. The horse itself was a beauty from the beginning!
