Wednesday, August 13, 2014

After my August 1st session I let rosemlaing shapes gel in my mind while I did a couple of landscape commissions and the Mineral Point 2014 Paint Out--a three day plein air event.

Today in the studio I drew another set of leaves. This time something called Sweetfern (Comptonia Peregrina).

I think my second attempt at the rocaille is much more successful than the first. The darker background helped, along with using a lively blue mix paint and feeling more comfortable with the shapes.
Rocaille - 2nd attempt
