Next on the easel is another pastel painting inspired by a wild animal encounter at Kisma Preserve. I am not sure why I was tempted to start with the nose but I realize now that I should be working the top left of the painting and methodically working my way down and across. This is to prevent smudging and dirtying of the black background (which I may or may not change)!
It is gonna be awesome. Like every other piece you touch. Good stuff auntie....
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks sweetie! miss you guys...
ReplyDeleteVery interesting at this stage. It makes me want to do a painting of an animal with it's snout in the light, and the rest of it in deep shadow. Maybe a sliver of light reaching the eye. Too many ideas, not enough time to follow through with them.
ReplyDeleteI totally understand John...I have so many ideas in my head that sometimes I just can't decide what to paint!
ReplyDeleteOh Colette!! I see it already!!! A perfect painting...you never disappoint us. I'm looking forward to your next post!!!
