One is too light.
The other is too dark.
The flowers in both,
look stale and day old.
Hoping tomorrow
will be more successful.

Fixable maybe.
Add color to one.
Take away from the other. Wipe out the centers
and try again.

Sounds like a few of us had problems today. Comforting
to know I am not alone in the struggle to be better.

Happy
successful painting
everyone!

Repeating the same mistake I made yesterday. Values are too close together. But I like it. There is actually a bit more warmth in the foreground, couldn’t get the scan quite right.

Happy painting, felting, drawing, collaging everyone!

I’m in love. With Gesso board. I have used it before. For some reason, today everything just came together. Take that back. I did have to rework the shadow. Working wet, it flowed a little too much to the right. The left shadow edge is a little too hard, but I am fine with that.

I am not sure of the flowers. Are the convincing? I see one line that scanned much too dark, I will have to go back in and soften it. Also I may need to go back on the entire left side, and deepen the background, to make the blooms stand out more. Yes?

I am however, completely pleased with the little blue pot. I thought I had fudged the shadows, but, I think they are good. Isn’t it pretty!
