"Just out of Reach" Acrylic Image: 18" x 13
This painting was finished the first time, (haha) about 2 months ago. I thought I liked it, but upon judging it more, I realized that it was far too busy, so I simplified it. The design in this piece was established by drawing a wire drawing in an abstract manner. I love to use Iphone apps to check up on my design. One of them that I love is called PencilSketch and another one that I like is called Notanizer. The one on the left is from PencilSketch and the one on the right is from Notanizer, using 4 levels (white, light, medium and dark values) I can see if I need to choose a different color or perhaps add a glaze to unify a section, just by looking at these apps, when I think I'm getting to the last steps of the painting.
