Oil Painting, round two!

1) Still life (assignment no. 1) - Earth palette (black, white, burnt sienna, yellow ochre) plus ultramarine blue, later on. First of two constantly infuriating still lives, but I think it turned out okay.


2) Still life (assignment no. 2) - more Earth palette. Still infuriating. Same vase, totally different look. Confused about own style. Irritated by canvas folds. Eventually, Jane told me to "not even look at them anymore." Moved on.


3) Fourth impressionist piece - experiment in painting landscapes, painting more from life. Difficulty in fixing the painting post-facto after having left the beach, with the picture vaguely in my head, but no desire to return to the actual scene and the impracticality of a windy cave for painting. Love the water and the clouds, though. Heavily edited.


4) Second impressionist painting - redone foray into impressionist painting to ensure it wasn't a one-off success, beginner's luck, whatever. It wasn't, and I still love it. Painted stylized tree...not a really exciting topic, but fun, nonetheless.


4.5) Picture of impressionist tree, or Shawn's "hugging tree."


Do enjoy, yes? More soon - I'm in love with this new still life splatter thingy I did, but just finished it, so neeeeeed to photograaaaaaph.
