As with recent boat painting, I settled on a technique at the end rather than the beginning! At least I'll know what to do next time.
Here, I painted the bird and the more prominent branches then began thinking of the background.
So, I wet the background with a light warm-to-cool wash and painted branches into it using palette grays. I wasn't happy with some on the left, so I smushed them together. When it dried, I added a few more light branches.
Did I overdo it?
Beautiful 😀

DeleteNot overdone at all - you have to have something to compete with that red red bird :). Lovely work, and no one would know you struggled a bit by not planning (we can’t always be so rigid in our planning and sometimes we get some great things from happy accidents!).
ReplyDeleteI see no overworking! It looks natural and wonderful!
