The following photo depicts the current state of my progress on the Statue of Liberty painting that I introduced in a recent post on 5/12/12.
There have been refinements in almost all areas of the painting. These include correcting perspective issues with the statue; bringing the light into balance for the statue, base, grass, trees, and buildings; extensive work on the sky to introduce the clouds and heighten aerial perspective; and major work on the boat and sails. Note the highlights added to the green statue are in red! Also notice how the shading on the hull of the boat establishes its angle of motion, and reflects the color of the water.
Much more needs to be done, but I must sit the painting aside and look at it for a while to detect what needs to be done next.
As you can see from my posts which track the development of my paintings, my painting process is a long series of steps where I develop and modify the drawing and the color scheme. In order to effectively modify and develop my color scheme over a considerable period of time, it is important to have my current colors available in workable pools of paint on my pallet. This why I love my Golden OPEN acrylic paints. They can stay workable on my pallet for weeks and months as I develop a painting. I will discuss how I do this in the next post "How I Use by Golden OPEN Modern Color Set".
