With snow melting on the ground, I have two more of these little snow paintings left. Today I looked at the dates on the back and realized that I had painting nine of them in a one month period. I had a lot of fun with them, and learned a lot as well.
I think my trees are slowly getting better, though they still need work. And I learned that color toned down slightly works better than bright color in most instances - these two for example, are a bit too saturated, though it works better on the second one.
I think what I need to do now is concentrate on a few "finished" pieces. In other words, take some more time and get a bit more detail, using the things I've learned from these nine pieces. There is a 6x6 competition in California that I am considering if I get some good pieces done in time. Thanks Bonnie for the heads up on that one!

Love both of them - as usual Erica. It is so fun to see you progressing and I can see that your trees are more clearly focused.
ReplyDeleteExcellent!
You are right, you can see improvement over the course of these paintings.
