Blueberry Redo |
There's a little story behind the blueberries. I was just about done with them last time I posted -- just wanted to do one more background wash to get rid of a light spot that was a little distracting. Well, I thought I'd get all fancy and mask off the edges that I didn't want to disturb with my background wash and made a big ol' mess. The wash seeped under the masking and just yucked everything all up. HOWEVER -- I kind of felt the painting was a little muddy. Not as fresh as I would have liked. So I decided to start over. I'm so glad I did. I learned so much from the first run-through that the second time around took no time to get to this point and I think it's fresher than the original. See . . . there are such things as "happy accidents." God bless Bob Ross! :)
The chair was started a while ago but I don't think I ever posted the first washes. So this is where I'm at today. I'm excited about this one.
Thanks for coming by. Happy Painting!
So many lovely pieces to work on! You must be excited to hit the studio each day ;-) Can't wait to see how they all turn out!
