Here is another bunny to lighten up the mood as I work upon the larger painting along the way.

Morning has been quite productive today.I started the basic wash on the Three Ladies painting and as it dried, painted a dog and a cat! ( they will feature in tomorrow's post) a good way to use all the paint on my palette ..and practice never hurts!
Here is the progress on Three Ladies...
I have used some masking fluid on the parts that need to kept light- don't want to break the flow of paint in order to save the whites here. Basic wash was meant to be neutral but I jut can't help dropping in all those lovely colors...so it was a mix of burnt sienna, burnt orange, french ultramarine, a little bit of yellow ochre and on the lower art-- Payne's grey mixed with a little opera rose. I don't mix my colors on the palette- though I have heard that its a good practice.I like to drop them individually and let them find their own place on paper.
I never get tired of seeing your bunny paintings, Arti. This one is wonderful and your ladies are coming along so beautifully... I look forward to seeing the progression of this portrait.

I catch glimpses of your lovely animals on Artfinder Arti. Your work amazes me wherever I see it. Love the bunny series. Good Luck with it all. xx
ReplyDeleteAs always, I'm just in awe, Arti. Really beautiful bunny (and I love the hard edges on his right ear; gives more dimension to the piece as a whole). The women are looking just so amazing. Can't wait to see more!
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying seeing the various approaches, yet with the same spontaneity between the more carefree hare and detailed development of the ladies.
