#28 of the challenge. I set out with a few goals here: loose strokes, some palette knife, and most importantly, do it in 2 hours or less. I achieved all three! (no time for fiddling, faddling, mussing and fussing when you're timing yourself). I have to admit, though, it's easier for me in lots of cases to not have a reference. That's what allowed me to be faster and looser and just fly and enjoy. With a reference, you're required to really look, study, and be more precise. Both practices are great, but I did like not spending the whole day on it!
Wade, as always, sat at my feet the whole time. He really liked the greens in this one..
Lovely, Laurie! I'm with Wade. ;)
ReplyDeleteWade has a very discerning eye! Beautiful painting, Laurie!
ReplyDeleteSo lovely Laurie I love the greens too... and the reds... and the purpley background :)
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely, Laurie. I agree that working without a reference can make painting a piece easier - you do what feels right. This was right!
ReplyDeleteThank you guys!
