Comment by Jean Sullivan on July 27, 2012 at 9:33: My drawings are usually separate from the painting. I do a drawing, then sometimes transfer it, sometimes not, but I don't paint over it. Occasionally, I'll just do a quick sketch on the substrate without doing a full separate drawing, but only if the subject matter is very simple.

Comment by Riya on July 26, 2012 at 20:29: I know that feeling, somewhere between the drawing and start painting things change and the loosiness is gone. I think it's because you want your painting looks as good or even better as the drawing. I still do have some drawings that never made it to paintings because they are so beautiful. I'm still afraid to ruin them, so they stay the way they are. Sometimes when the drawing looks great, I just make a second one that wil be used as painting. Ofcourse I hope that the second one will be as great as the first, but that's not happen often. At least I have the drawing AND the painting.

Comment by Jean Sullivan on July 26, 2012 at 18:05: I have a similar thing with pencil and charcoal drawings. I often like them better than my finished painting. I think it's partly because I'm not so tight when I'm doing the drawings.

Comment by Riya on July 26, 2012 at 3:20: Hello Jean, thank you so much for your comment and liking this photo, ^_^ I really appreciate it. I try to get that painterly in to my paintings, but thats hard. I always put way too much detail in them. But with the colourstudies it seems not to be any problem.

Comment by Jean Sullivan on July 25, 2012 at 14:46: I love this limited value color study. You've achieved a very painterly effect with it; a great example of the a mix of hard and soft edges, I think. Well done.
