Started this last night using the mixed paints left on the palette from the previous “start” and found the painting get muddy and dull very quickly. I was tired and not cleaning the brushes well between colours either. Soon there was too much wet paint to make any corrections and so I decided to sleep on it. Had a go with a clean palette, fresh paints and a clean brush this morning and I’m much happier with the results.
These are a part of the programme I’m undertaking this year to improve my painting skills. In case you want to know more about this set of exercises click here.









I love this. Napping is one of my favorite things, I want to be the lady in the painting.
This is such a restful peaceful painting. I really love it.
Thank you Teri and Lauren. I’m hoping to come back to several of these to complete once i’ve finished the exercise.
