I have done the ironwork ( tougher than I thought:-), have removed all the masking, added clothespins for a few dots of color. I still have to put in the clothesline - will probably use white acrylic for that - and all the finishing details especially around the whites where the masking was.
From a distance, this painting is quite nice:-) . I am getting tired of looking at it though and I am looking forward to painting something quite simple next.
well door lady... i think this is wonderful.. some places very detailed and some loose.. great balance .. wonderful shadows from the laundry..!! woo hoo.. will be abck to see the finish.. youre really close!!
ReplyDeleteI really like the clothes hanging and the shadows. Can't wait to see this finished.
ReplyDeleteCindi and Nora, I really appreciate the support. I found this painting to be a tough one. But, yes I am almost done. The shadows and the clothes are indeed the best part of the painting. I may do some severe cropping to really focus on that....
ReplyDeleteI attended a demo tonight by a Golden Acrylic representative. Wow! so many possibilities even in combination with watercolors! I will be awake all night I am sure thinking of various mixed media effects:-)
Love the softness of the colors. What about scraping in the clothesline with an Xacto knife rather than paint it in - the line might fade in and out and offer more interest???
ReplyDeleteDeb, thank you for stopping by and giving me such a great suggestion. The scraped line would probably be a lot less distracting than the acrylic line...and my watercolor would not get the purists upset:-)
ReplyDeleteHi Christiane;
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by my blog today and for your very encouraging words. I'm so glad you liked my painting. I love this painting as well, and have done clothes lines many times because i think they really are interesting and make for a wonderful painting. I think you nailed the shadow behind the clothesline. Well done!
your watercolours are very nice
