Yellow Roses (Liz Robbins 3rd on-line lesson)

This of course is not done....I , again did not use the right size canvas and the flowers kinda grew and I almost did not have enough room.  The lesson was about looking at shapes--not a rose or petals but the shapes of dark and light and warm and cool and it boggled my mind.  I think I made it harder then it needed to be.  I do that sometimes when I try to hard....I painted this while we had our first blizzard of the year.  Church was canceled and I painted Sunday and again today (Monday) as I didn't;t go to work because of the slick streets.
I tried to work on it today and the paint was not dry but tacky--not the best conditions for painting. I overworked and just was trying to get it done.  I hurried and posted it on instagram and also on the closed group that we have for all of us who take the on-line course.  I left the posting stay for about 10 minutes and then pulled them off as I knew I need to work more on the painting,  The blue flowers look so gray in the photo--I do not like the gray color.
Anyway, I'm glad I decided to work more on this painting--I think I can make it better---I hope...
Happy painting!

Sunflowers (2nd Liz Robbins on-line-class)

Almost done--One more painting time to fix obvious mistakes (why can't I see them while I'm painting?
No one says it's easy and besides Walking Dead is on cause it's
Ricks last episode.
But I digress --I love these classes--learning so much--can' t wait to paint again on this --I think I can fix my mistakes with one more session. Happy painting






Here is the latest version--I am happier with this--I need to paint more and not be so lazy. Thanksgiving is over and I have extra days off so hope I'll get more painting time in. Hope your thanksgiving was good---mine sure was--love being with the family and of course the food!!!

2nd Lesson with Liz Robbins--"Sunflowers"

I just had to start this before I worked more on the first lesson (the apples).
This is just the first pass- I like to show how I start--hopefully I can work more tomorrow and post the changes I will make and hope you will see a difference. Happy Painting!!
