| "Waiting Patiently" 11" x 11" $145 |
Some days everything goes right in a painting! Wanting to end with a blue theme, I started my underpainting using warms and brown tones. I drew a value sketch with only 2 values, so that I would know where to connect my lights. I thought of
Polly Hammett and how well she repeated shapes and simplified shapes. That's what I tried to do! This painting was basically about where to scrub out, rather than painting in layers. (See yesterday's blog to get a more detailed description of scrubbing out with rubbing alcohol.) Below you will see my underpainting, value sketch and my painting 3/4 done. I actually considered it done, but after sitting critiquing it during wine o'clock, I decided that I indeed needed to add more darks. I like the design in this painting. Notice that even the bracelets are a repetition of the chair curve.
