Things are not going well …
I thought I had some notion of where I wanted this painting to go, but that idea proved to be less good than I had hoped once I committed it to the panel. After considering what did and didn’t work, I tried again the next day after re-sanding the board and reapplying the base colours. I think the results were worse … Today I’ve tried again in the hope that a small shift in style and applying more opaque colours would make a difference. But, again, I don’t think it has helped …
Hopefully I’ll have an inspired moment soon.
