Flamingoes came back
A second studio stroll
Dancing on water.
Art Prescription: I returned to my flamingoes again this morning. This time I planned my compositions for a paired painting. I started with a sketch to make sure I liked my placement of each bird, then did a very watery background. I took my time building up color on each bird, and finally added watery reflections. I’m happy with these paintings!!
When flamingoes play
You have a great idea! And
It’s a DO OVER!!
Art Prescription: Busy days lead to hurried and unplanned paintings. Sometimes slapping paint on paper works, and other times it doesn’t. So I’m just going to call this a sketch for a larger work and learn from my mistakes:
-no clear focal point
-too much the same color and value
-poor depth perception
-who’s in front and who’s behind (value and saturation)
-incorrect anatomical drawing
Chime in if you have a suggestion. I plan to try again today…stay tuned!
