Starting 3 new small paintings.
When I want a subtle texture in the background I paint the area and lay saran or sheets of plastin on the wet area.
This dries and then I proceede with the subject
Now that I have the cat nearly done I see there are problems with it.
I started painting at 6AM and have been at it too long. I will go back and scrub out some areas of the cat when I stop beating myself up.
The second painting Cat and Mouse
Holicow! now that I have this one nearly done it looks like a krismiss card. I might need to visit it again tomorrow.
Stage 2
nearly done
I am not happy with this painting and will make notecards out of it.No sence keeping something so bad .
I will do a different composition of the same image.
he background in this painting had water dripped on the wet area. This spreads out and breaks up the flat look of the background.
Just a few spots of darker color and some scrubbed out grass and the Blue Row is finished
