Li, Hello to you. Thank you for your comments and feedback.... much appreciated.
Rick, I like it very much ! Beautiful work. I like your style and I also like Dee's. You two have something in common, such as, simplicity, good colour combination, impresive brush work and acurate values..... Just enjoyable. Li
Thanks Dee. Yes.......... agreed. I'm adding speed and use big brushes for as long as possible to the list.
I think the lack of detail in the photo is a lack of detail in the painting as I shot in daylight with high resolution, 14 mega pixels or so. Will work on the photography. Whoops, perhaps it's when I reduce the size of my photo for posting. I'll try omitting the reduction step. The software may be sacrificing resolution when I downsize the photo. I'm in the habit of reducing size cuz of VAA. Thanks for the added imput.
Thanks Chris for your clarification. I've made a list of things to do while I paint that I'm sure will improve my work with thicker paint, or any paint for that matter (I'm attempting to improve brushwork).
I made this list tonight after working on a study I began yesterday. It's gone pretty well. We'll see if it goes better tomorrow.
Thanks for being part of the catalyst on this.
P.S. I photographed the painting in the late afternoon (in the shade; no direct sun) using a tripod. I'll do some experimentation with this as well.
Chris & Dirk,
Thanks for commenting........... I'm becoming partial to the painting of greys. Not only can they be really beautiful in a painting, but really make the saturated colors pop (if that's what you want). The actual painting looks better to me than the photograph (difficult to get the camera to duplicate life). I really appreciate your feedback.
Beautiful use of greys
Off to your blog I go..........dor:))
