I'm really not crazy about this painting, but I learned a lot! This time I got great advice from another amazing painter, Thomas Jefferson Kitts. He talked about color temperature, repetition of patterns, composition, and scale. It was a ton of information, but what I got most out of it was how light temperature works. I never thought about the subtle gradient shifts of light. Thomas mentioned that the distance of the sun to the objects surrounding it will vary the color temperature. That there are subtle changes and shifts of temperature based on distance. For awhile, I've been focused on values. Now its time to step it up, and add some temperature!
I've been so worried to make a "shitty" painting that I don't make any. I've allowed my fear of making art to take over for too long. I've reached my breaking point. I came to the realization that I will not be able to make an awesome painting without making a whole lot of shitty paintings. So here I go...no control z...just mineral spirits!
