spring
I went to the public gardens today and took lots of pictures. The flowers are so pretty! And the typical overcast day was a nice light diffuser :)
Then I worked over an old painting I never liked. I've been using gesso instead of white paint and I quite like the texture of it.
So I went with that texture and got this :) which is based on some childhood memories.
As much as I would like to work only with the paints with the natural pigments, giving up color and the quick prepare time would be difficult.
And just for fun, my flowers...
Here's an update on the latest painting
I like how it's coming along so far which is always a good sign.
And I took some photos over at the park for inspiration. It's easy to forget that I'm so close to the water here, there's lots of fun rocks to bring home with me :). and driftwood. and shells. and everything else haha
While I was in the little bit of woods I did some sketching of a turned tree stump. I had found some charcoal on the beach from someone's old fire which worked rather well. I didn't have time to get too detailed because it was getting cold but I think I'll definitely have to go back more often to sketch. It's good practice.
