My painting Sketch and reshoot of Pastel Plant




















here's the plant redo. It isn't over until/unless it leaves the house so I may add more depth in the future.

Then my painting, which is just a sketch looking to make a larger painting with more staffing. I have such trouble with perspective so that's why I did this. I can't say that I learned a thing with this exercise so I think I really did it just to wet the brushes. Didn't take care with the palette either. Me bad. Comment if you choose to, because I will be interested.

  1. The plant looks like you've already added a bit of depth to it.

    The painting...well, I'm sure I've already told you that I love your paintings, right? I like this, although I'd love to see something behind him..like a wall or something.

  2. Charity, thanks. Yes, I added some depth but once I see in on screen it needs more. I love drawing plants, just the green, definitely not flowers.

    Yes, this Rag Seller is just a study, I probably mislabeled him. He will have another person in there too. Right now I am working on a separate study of the rags in his hand, to put pattern in there. This is the part I enjoy--i'll get it good and then I'll probably trace it in position.

    I have to work out a palette too. Do you build scenes in this manner?
