'Ready to Paint'
8"x10"
Oil on Canvas board
This is my take on the current Daily Paintworks challenge to paint what you paint with, posted by Carol Marine. I approached this piece very differently from my usual style. The big differences were:
1) Use only one brush (the one pictured). I tend to get carried away noodling small details with a little brush so I forced myself to only use a larger brush the entire time.
2) Keep the strokes! I opted for a looser and more painterly style where I left the brush strokes unblended.
3) Alla Prima. I finished this one quickly, avoiding my occasional problem with losing my momentum when I come back to a painting.
It was very fun to explore a different style and I'm very happy with the result.
