German Road After

Much happier with these changes. I feel it is more vibrant and colorful. I am still trying to stay within Johannes guidelines and I did post it on Daily Paintworks Challenge

Rabbit and violet

This week's DPW Challenge...One or two white objects set upon a colorful cloth. I went to Hobby Lobby and bought a 1/2 yard of a Spring fabric after deciding I had only a white ceramic rabbit and a white Corelle dish. Both things I love. The rabbit was bought in the hospital gift shop when I was in nursing school and the small Corelle plates with the iris were purchased last year. This was definitely a challenge. I wanted to make it a one color per brush stroke but that didn't happen. It was so difficult to get those different whites. I do love this painting.I put the plate behind to make the composition more interesting. I attempted to make all the dark shapes one value and then all the light shapes one value.so they work together to make interesting shapes.

One color per stroke Challenge

This is how I want to paint. Very difficult to not just move that paint around and keep stroking!! It takes a lot of planning and mixing color ahead of time. Lots of paint!
I do love these challenges. Just think how my painting will go if Spring ever comes.
