I have done further work to the new painting.
I have tightened up the painting of the Peacock butterfly,
using Cadmium Orange and Lemon Yellow.
I have also done more work to the landscape, working into
the detail with Burnt Sienna, Indian Red, Titanium White, Coeruleum Blue ,
Ultramarine and Lemon Yellow.
It now looks like this
I think that the under painting is nearly complete.
At this stage (and often at subsequent stages) I will leave
the painting to dry and will ‘live with it’ for a while, spending a bit of time
looking at it, until it tells me what needs doing.
There are usually a few bits that need tweaking, but I have
to put a bit of distance between me and the picture before they become
apparent. It is very easy to get too close to a picture and miss things.
Until next time
Adieu
