When it all goes downhill...
the only way is up.
Yesterday this painting was relaxing
and all was well in the workshop.
It began life with a red under painting,
followed by black and dark red.
Here is the canvas on the left.
After some work it looked like this.
Green became the dominant colour
and I added yellow to top left.
Some scraping and scratching
gave the piece a landscape feeling.
It was left to dry a little.
Today I decided there was too much
going on, making the picture busy.
An application of Gamsol loosened the paint
allowing me to squeegee the surface.
I took away the circular marks and added more greens
with touches of blue and turquoise.
The inevitable happened...I had overworked it.
Oh well, 'stuff happens'.
I rubbed it over with a cloth and then
stood back to see my disaster.
On second thoughts maybe the painting can be saved.
I look forward to seeing it in the morning.
All for now.
Thank you for visiting
