The First painting from Saturday... because had the
nice big canvas, think tried to put it ALL in. Though I like the contrast,
and feel of the painting overall, do feel that the 4x6 ended up a bit more of a
successful painting as I look as these two side by side in this exercise. In the larger piece, I got away
from my thumbnail... which if I would have stuck
to it, I would have not only remembered WHY I began the painting but applied that to the large format too.
I allowed myself to get lost in the fun detail and play of complementary
colors... and lost the impact that the thumbnail had. The small
painting, the impact was not lost, because the impact, in a way is all
that fit into the tiny 4x6 format. So the exercise in plein air this past
week was a good one... and reminded me of what I know to do... and still
need to apply. No matter how many times I paint, the old standards go
along with it. Composition, Shapes, and Values... its not really about
the detail at all.  | |
