It would be so easy for me just to show you the finished product. I show all stages, for your enjoyment and also, I hope for comments and suggestions. I enjoy hearing your reactions. So, here is how the painting of Pita began.
Looking good to me so far.
Wow. I’m in love. I love it. This, or even the previous stage is always my favorite. What I am trying to understand is what do I lose, how do I lose anything in “Completing” the painting. I went to bed praying I wouldn’t wreck it.
Uh oh. She looks to gray to me! Too monochromatic! I have lost some of what I loved! See, I do show you my mistakes. Hopefully it’s not too late to get the rust glows back:
Ok, I think I did it, pretty well. At least I know where I can make improvement. I love this painting and am happy to offer it for sale. But I know in which area I can keep trying to impove; Finish the painting without losing the free, loose strokes and the glory of the ground color which seemed so right.
Opinions?
