| CAROL MARINE'S PAINTING A DAY 8/27/17 |
| |
Sometimes you end up saying just want you want to say with a painting, and this is it for me (I'm talking paint-gasm here, for those who know me!). I used the same block-in technique that I talked about a few posts ago, where I blocked everything in before I started adding details or nailing down specific features. This is working very well for these kinds of subjects.
I am heading out today for my abstract workshop in Bend. Unfortunately this means I won't be able to ship paintings (until Sept. 4th) but my stepdaughter will keep shipping books for me. Check my Instagram feed for pictures from the workshop next week. : )
Painting realism is like interpreting a recipe. You've got to figure out which parts of the recipe/scene are essential to keep it holding together, and which parts you can adjust and change. And like a recipe, everyone has their own take on this, which is what makes art so wonderful! You can set up 100 artists to paint the same scene, and none will be the same.
