Work In Progress, Withlacoochee Flight, Update 14
Using the same colors and technique, I completed the grasses across to the right side.
I say “completed”, but I always reserve the right to touch up or modify parts. As I said before, I work on areas until I’m satisfied at the time, but I always check back here and there, glancing at various areas of the painting to see if anything “jumps” out and needs work. Many times I do find something. I’ll have to eliminate or add to an area, or add more detail. For instance, one place I worked on over the past week was the entire mid ground tree mass on the right side. There seemed to be still some white showing here and there, so I went back over it, burnishing with more color until it seemed denser and more solidly filled in. I’ll probably do this with other areas if they appear to need it.
So, what is left now are the birds – the subject of the painting.
