Working on crossing mediums
You might have seen this scene not long ago. I liked it so much that I figured I would try it in oil. It is hard getting a good photo when a painting is still wet and in bad light but this one turned out the best. I've been working with a very limited palate in hopes that the brush work will get all of my attention. While it is not anywhere near exact, I think my brush strokes in oil are starting to mirror my pastel strokes. The limited palate is making it a lot easier to focus on an area that I think is lacking. After brush work my next area is value and composition in oil. Oil is easy enough to change once you have it laid down but it is still different than pastel so time spent on that wouldn't hurt. It has been a good day of painting. Tomorrow will be even better.
