I finished the flowering aloe plant. Appreciated the suggestions but I would have had to start over again and each of those nodes have to be painted one at a time in order to blend the colors the way I wanted. The spray makes the colors deeper and gives the painting a shine.
That aloe plant looks delicious...just like a bouquet of frosted popsicles. That's an ambitious painting you have going there--eager to see it progress. What town is this? and what size is the painting?

DeleteI opened the blog for last week's posting in a new window and then compared this week's and last week's aloes side by side and I couldn't see much difference between the two. Glad to see you working big, but even on big paper that is a lot of detail to get in.
ReplyDeleteThat’s the point. The difference is in the value.
DeleteI thought the aloe plant looked much more lush with the fixative. Looking forward to seeing your big hometown creation as it develops.
