I have learned the value in not caring. I figure whats the worse that can happen... another failed piece of art. So I have begun blocking in the background more and played more with some experiments. Overall I am not sure if I care for the direction it is going, but heh.... thats the beauty of not caring. Lets see what happens.
Did not have much time to work on the piece in my last session, but wanted to knock in some of the background. I am keeping it light, since I am not sure what I am doing there yet. I want to start adding a bunch more vegetation throughout it and lock down the placement of things before I get too opaque.
So I have decided to go with a dirty watercolor style. Thats what I dubbed my watercolor style sense I make no efforts to preserve the whites. I usually am much more opaque in my watercolor then come back in with another paint like acrylic later to paint the highlights.
This started out an attempt to add a value rendering to my portfolio and utterly failed. So I was in the process of destroying it by erasing all the rendering but liked the line work of the skull. So I decided to start experimenting and redrew the raven back in. Lets see where this goes.
