Leftovers

I tried something similar to Supper Time, but want to experiment with more blues in the painting. Supper Time is a warm painting and I want this one to be a cool painting to see the difference. I think the green grass does not work well. Comments welcome.

Comment by Britt Greenland on May 22, 2014 at 9:11: Here a are a few things I love about this painting:

1. The cow's tail and shape.

2. The postures of the goats--correct but loose drawing.

3. I can hear and smell them and feel the sunshine, I swear!

4. The background elements are strong, but help rather than hinder the composition.

Another great painting, Aurelia!

Comment by Aurelia Sieberhagen on May 19, 2014 at 3:08: Thank you. I changed it to a more blue green and darken the value a little bit and it looks much better now.

Comment by Luba Robinson on May 19, 2014 at 0:46: Aurelia, I agree with Olivia.....a bluer green grass will work better, as the yellow green doesn't complement any of the other colors, ( check out your color wheel)...... otherwise good job !

Comment by Olivia O'Carra on May 18, 2014 at 6:30: I think its a lovely painting.great broken colour. The white shadow areas with that cool lilac and warm pinky beige are great.

I dont know about the green .Maybe a slightly bluer green.

You could try glazing over with a bit of blue and wiping it off if you dont like it
