It is now 4th July and I have repainted this small painting...allowing a bit more scope and trying very hard to reduce the amount of white that I mix with the hues. I think the difference is obvious.....am not certain to what degree it improves it but will persevere with the exercise.
I painted this small painting in class and had problems with it straight away. One of the other students liked it so I offered it to her but not before I brought it home and did a bit more work on it. Like many of my paintings I think the values are wrong.....I am beginning to think that, as a general rule, I use too much white paint. This is particularly obvious once I have photographed the works. Am going to repeat this painting and try to reduce the amount of white in the colour mixing......will then upload the other to compare the two.
Your work is great Ellen,these apples do look luscious.
