Demonstration-4

Young locust 008Young locust 011Here are the last two pictures. In the first, I have filled in the field and grasses. I’ve reconfigured the fence but haven’t worked on it yet. I decided to add more color to the shadow side of the house and found a blue violet the same value as the blue green. This gives it added dimension, I think. I tried to keep the wild mustard from competing with the locust tree by adding a yellow green Girault over the initial yellows. I’ve made the foreground grasses brighter and added a band of purple bugle, which breaks up the space.  In the final image (final for now only!), I’ve worked on the fence, added a little orange to the roof, and made other small changes, including removing the tape and finishing off the corners.  I think I may need to add a little more variety of color and value to the fence but  I’m quite happy with this now. It needs to rest for a day or two so I can bring a fresh eye to it.  Thanks for sharing this cold day with me!  I’ve enjoyed sharing my painting process with you all and will no doubt do it again.

  1. Lovely painting. I enjoy how the fence zig-zags up to the house….the irregular piece of the fence helps too. The greens are handled so well, as are the different kinds of leaves. Nice work!

    • Thanks so much Kim. Usually, I find fences a challenge and often leave them out, but this was was really critical! Jean
