I'm surprised at how fast this painting is progressing!! I'm actually enjoying painting all the leaves. Perhaps it is because of all the practice I got in doing the squirrel painting...or maybe because I find it so much easier to work on a dark suede or velour (such as this very dark emerald green) as the starting base color for the background.
Colette, this is going to be a first-class work. You're right, having a green base colour to work into must feel like such a huge head start. It's always a daunting sight seeing a large expanse of white paper you just know has to be covered!
ReplyDeleteThis is already so beautiful. Wonderful light! It's going to be a fantastic finished piece. Can't wait!
