painting!!!!!! 03march 2024

 i have loads of painting ideas so i need to get back into it.. especially now we've de-mouldified stuff in the house... but want to finish the painting thats been sat for a few months first, however i think theres a block with it so thought to write this post to try unravel all that....

Painting something is easy, but painting the Illusion of something is difficult. one main example of this is leaves. luckily for me, i saw lots of depictions of trees in the musee dorsay, but unluckily for me, they were leaves on the trees not on the ground.. also there are many ways to Suggest the presence of leaves, but i am still unsure how i wnt to go about it in this painting.

maybe ill start another painting side by side with it... can be god to flick between multiple paintings...

CHAIRS PAINTING

ref photo using:

photo at the beginning of today (3rd march)

photos at the end, after maybe painting for like 2hrs....

added an outline around the chairs since the painting is about the chairs i waanted to emphasise them a lil.... and also solidified the paint at the bottom a bit more..

Action plan/next step(s)
need to take some Artistic license with this,, like everything tbh...
start adding in shapes of the most prominent leaves and leave the rest to illusion? maybe just at the front/bottom of the image, as i like the blue sheet cutting in with just the wash of brown, and if i add details at the top it might make the image look too flat....
refine the chairs more, especially the gaps in the backs of the chairs.

IDEAS FOR PAINTINGS...
- body one on sofa
- further explore fast made stuff like the chairs....
- food???
