If you remember toward the end of the demo(I should have stopped 5 minutes sooner) I got a little heavy handed with my darks, it really hurts to see them today. The painting didn't need them. Sometimes you need to have a friend close by who will grab your brushes and run away. I may try to fix some things, if I do I'll post it.

To me this looks very good.
ReplyDeleteIn hind sight you say maybe to have stopped sooner.
I don't know. I see a lot of energy, and personality, in the moment.
Technicals should take a back seat to process and if something should be "tweeked" it is just a chaseing after perfection, or a second guess
of what you've done.(my opinion~)
I would say Bravo! Don't let the "doubting Thomas" rob the beauty that is!
Thanks Bill, I often think of each alla prima painting as a performance. They are records of a particular moment with a multitude of variables. Best not picked apart in the post game.
