Oil on Gessoboard
This is Day 8 of Leslie Saeta's 30 in 30 painting challenge. When I was looking at what I have painted so far I noticed I have been painting a lot of red and green. So I decided to tone it down a bit with the mushrooms. It was a lot more difficult to paint something that doesn't have a lot of color. It does make me realize I need to work on adding color to my paintings even if the object lacks these colors. If I were doing this in pastel I would have blocked in with all different colors but with the paint I tend to stay away from that. I need to work on being more brave with the color. As long as the value is right the painting will read ok. See, I am learning something through all of this. Maybe I will do these in pastel as a study and then post.
