Trying a New Technique
An Ode to Practice
This is a copy from a painting from Elle Decor.
It is is layers of washes--this is a series of photos from my first attempt.
First layer of green totally wiped out my birds.
Have to repaint birds, notice that the art I am trying to
copy hasfour birds hidden in the picture.
I didn't notice all the birds the first time.
More green and yellow washes.
Time to add some color to these birds.
Final wash with a different brush. Trying to hide the birds, I guess.
The original painting is so cool. I did not do it justice. I don't think I should
be finished, I am just finished for now.
See what the computer can do?
It can take my painting and make it look rather cool.
I just keep telling myself to keep practicing and I will get there. I will get somewhere, whether by accident (which is highly probable) or by diligence.
