Respite

One of my assignments for my first painting critique. Still getting used to ho BRIGHT Hydrus watercolors are. The palette in the set I have all blends very well. It’s actually difficult to make muddy colors. You really have to set out to do it deliberately.

Escape
And maybe we can
Get away from here
Run off to where
The Sky blurs in to
Stars

And the nightmare painting is finished. I am so glad to be done with this. The fumes from the lack of ventilation made my illness so much worse.

If I’m going to complain about this painting killing me, I suppose I should at least upload a preview of what it looks like. Photo quality isn’t great; I’ll try to take a higher depth photo later.

The trees came out nice at the top, at least? Top isn’t quite finished I need to figure out what else I’m doing with it.

Painting also still needs glazing and a bit more flicking. Not going to lie, toothbrush = favorite brush, right now. ~~I am clearly such a professional oil painter.~~ Also this image wound up flipped horizontally, I don’t know how, and I’m far too tired to fix it.

My current painting wip. I’ll try to post a time lapse later. My mother actually has more pictures than I do.

It still needs stars, more cloud definition, and a few colour washes, + railroad track details and rocks added in.

Pretty chuffed with this shot. I’ll be using this photo as reference for a painting I’m working on.
