Media: Acrylic on gessobord
Size: 6x6 in
This is my third crabapple painting and to change it up I used a darker background which gave the crabapple a totally different look. It really influenced the crabapple color, using white to lighten the color made the crabapples fall flat. Discouragement set in so I put the painting away writing it off as a bad paint day. Finally yesterday and in a better mood, I tried working the crabapples again, why not, what did I have to loose. Repainting some with a light cadmium red a thought crossed my mind, what about using a bright orange highlight? Bingo, the crabapples finally popped. I have so much to learn!
