(This is an in progress photo)
So for this project I chose to use the medium being oil paints. I based this piece off of a photo I took at a family members house in the evening, parts of this painting are not finished yet, but a candle, ledge, and in the background there should be a fence, along with a tree. I am really enjoying creating this piece. One thing I'm trying to challenge myself in painting pieces is to use complementary colors to enhance the overall view of the piece, for example in the grass I have used blue and yellows to incorporate texture more so than if I were to just use shades of green.
Also I'm trying to use more values in my pieces, especially in this one. One challenge I'm facing while creating this piece is being able to add white without dulling the colors, specifically in the background where the sun comes through in the tree foliage. This aspect of my piece is more difficult than other aspects since I'm trying to have very green colors that will stand out but adding white in for value dulls the colors.
Hopefully towards the end of my piece I will be able to add in all the colors and values as was like the photo I'm basing it off of. Wish me luck!
