Anyway, it doesn't count as another painting, but I thought I would post it. Most of the revisions were done with soft pastels. Okay, NOW I can move on. Ain't this fun?
A blog about daily painting. The goal is to paint 120 small paintings, mostly in pastel, but there could be some paintings in gouache, acrylics, oils or watercolor. Landscapes and still life paintings will be the major focus. This blog is about the journey towards improvement and experimenting with different techniques and mixing media.

Taking it Further
We have all had that painting that taunts you. The painting that gets under your skin and there doesn't seem to be a damn thing you can do about it. That was my last painting. I hated it, but could see some potential. I worked on the sky and was happy with it. Then tree was tended to, until it looked okay. So far, so good. Then came the grass. The bloody grass!!!! I just couldn't get it! I ended up wiping all the pastel off left of the path yesterday and went back to it today. I am not overly pleased with the outcome, but it is an improvement.

Beautiful fix. I like the sky holes and the accents, you really improved this one so well. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteYes, I remembered sky holes! Thanks, Robert. I didn't give up.
