Blasted TreeFinished (daylight) |
I started off by telling myself that I was just going to do the sky... but then there was too much blue left, so I made it into green ... and purple ... and before I knew it the painting had progressed to this stage and it was way past bedtime.
In progress (artificial light) |
It took a couple of days before I was able to find the time to work on it again, but eventually I did, and this is the result. The photography, of course, took even longer; domestic artificial light doesn't work very well with my rudimentary set-up, so I had to wait for the weekend.

did you end up with less clouds? Amazing how different the colours look in the light.
ReplyDeleteNo, I think the quantity of clouds was unaffected.
DeleteAnd the different types of light *are* strikingly apparent in these photographs. I'm sure I don't need to tell you that it's largely due to missing bits of the light spectrum in the artificial light (the one above was taken under flourescent bulbs).
