Ok, if you are like me you looked at the picture I posted yesterday and it didn't seem all that different from the one posted before - well, not sure if it was the light, camera angle or operator error (no couldn't be that) but here is what I think I should have posted and actually does look like something has happened since the last time. Still got a lot of work to do but he is coming around and have high hopes that by Sunday he will be pretty close to finished.
Shades of Pink
Shades of Pink This is kind of a culmination of lots of things I have been working on for the last couple of months. It started with a photo I liked, putting it into GIMP I wanted to put it into color dropper and see what colors/tones were coming up. They weren't quite striking enough so I then went to adjusting the color curves. Came up with several options that I really liked. Thought it might be a great fun way to better learn how to mix colors and do a little mini series as well. Going to call it Shades of.... Then it was back into oils. I kind of am addicted to them now that I got through the first painting. I do really like how they blend. Currently am using a styrofoam meat tray as my palette so I can just toss it when it is to messy to clean. However this was more complex or something and I wasn't able to get it finished in just one sitting. So I needed to utilize some of the painting medium for my oil...
