Getting From Point A to Point B

Reworking From Point A to Point B

I've had a really great week and

 I wanted to share some of that with you.  

I had a mermaid class in my

FREE Facebook Group,

Painter Nation Homeschool Art Club.

and I'll open that door just as soon as I can.

Last week in the Bucket List Artist Facebook group

 I taught how to paint rocks. 

 This week I finished that painting.

This is what the finished painting looks like.

Then I. had a painting I have never been happy with.

Loved the clouds, but. nothing else in the painting worked for me.  Yesterday I decided to work on it some more.  It's funny how you see things differently after a little while.  

Didn't like the background, the bales of hay, the road,

 the barn or the fence.  

I really didn't change that much, but I reworked the entire background of trees and bushes, giving them more definition.

The bales of hay were too green, although when hay is baled it is very green and then changes color over time.  But they were tooooo green, so I brightened up the part facing the viewer and tried to put the ones in the background not as bright as those in the foreground. I reworked the road giving it more definition in the foreground.  I brightened it up and added deeper ruts and more rocks.  I made the fence larger and gave them some weeds at ground level.  I also changed the roof on the barn a bit.  

Anyway, I'm happier with it now.  

Get my 7 Tips for Color Mixing printable which I referred to several times as I made corrections to this painting.  It was all in the values and color as it usually is.

Print it out and keep it where you paint because you will refer to it often.

Enjoy!
