WATER PAINTING #1 • 30 inches x 40 inches • almost done!
On Friday I worked on the marsh grasses...
I added lots of little lines to give it more texture.
Last Monday, my friend Kyle and I both began working on our goal of “five paintings in five weeks.” I am on DAY ONE of WEEK TWO, and so far have painting #1 just about finished.
At this rate, I have a feeling that Kyle is going to meet the goal before me…. but even though I’m already one day behind, I’m not giving up yet!
(The piece I’m temporarily calling) “water painting #1” is proably 95% done. It needs to dry some more before I can go back and put the finishing touches on the grasses in the foreground.
I spent most of today working on the water/grass in the lower right corner. Then I went back and put the thinnest glaze I could make of blue over the entire sky to make the clouds blend together more.
Here I was at the end of my day last Friday.
And here I was at the end of my day today. I got to a place where the grasses were too wet so I need to put this aside. I spent the rest of the day putting some highlights on "boat dock" and "beach." Two paintings from my VACATION series that are just about done.
