I'm happy with this one... much looser while still depicting a high level of detail. I tried focusing on painting the light rather than painting the objects. I took time to study values, did a lot of squinting and painted general areas of lights and darks to create volume and solidity first. This prevented me from getting bogged down in the details too early in the process and somehow that liberated me to play around more freely. I am determined to do more exploring but I finally feel like I'm moving in the right direction. Stay tuned!
Update... "Pear with White Stripes" sold in the DPW auction yesterday... thank you!
Wonderful rendering of the fabric. Everything pulls together in this one.
