Today I started working with the softer pastels - Rembrandts and Giraults. By the time I was finished working for the day I had worked over pretty much the entire painting, adding detail, emphasizing value contrasts and softening edges in the background and adding detail to the fawns. I'm happy with the overall composition with one exception. I want to remove the lower left brown areas and extend the grass there instead. That will give the fawns a more obvious path into the painting.I'm happy to see you here and have you join me on my artistic journey. Over the past several years I've created visual art in various media. But beginning in 2019 I am focusing on writing and illustrating books for animal enthusiasts of all ages. Regardless of the medium, my subject is nearly always animals! Don't miss a post! Submit your e-mail address just below and you'll receive new posts directly in your mail box! I post once - or at most twice - a week.
