Creepy Zone of Wonderment. You are in that zone and it’s a good place to be. Wayne, do you find that hard edges tend to become things more than soft ones? There is strength in those shapes because of the edges but I have to keep the edges soft as long as possible to keep the things from...
I’m very interested in how you’re doing this, Wayne! Whatever the outcome, I love the idea of starting with no subject and waiting for it to emerge. My problem is that I see such weird things (elephants in hats etc.) and I can’t unsee them and they don’t translate well into paintings. I hope...
That’s adorable, Jade! It’s ok about the inktense - they will be there when you feel like using them another time. You shouldn’t feel like you have to force yourself to use them; life’s too short.
I really like this zoomed in view and the light effects you featured, Wayne. It’s interesting how little crops of a view can become so powerful when they’re not competing with the big picture. It seems you get stronger compositions too.
Another good one! The light on the snow is enough to make me go past the dark trees on the left. There’s nothing dangerous in there I hope because I can’t run so fast in snow.
That was quick, Wayne! I like this version just as much as the first one. Thanks for showing the underpainting. It really showed you where to put the brightest snow.
