@babe I liked your rat paintings, but it is good to see that you are branching out.

An hour and a half painting a goddamn twig.
Surprising amount of mint green involved

@babe @TheBreadmonkey Agreed. That is a very good stick.

@xapmat Still a long way to go. I've given up for today. It's coming along ok though!

Long way to go but so far so good

@babe brace yourselves, spring is coming!

I'm not used to doing still life anymore, most things I paint there's some image in my head I'm going from.
While this is still effectively made up, it's based on a whole bunch of different images, and figuring out things like colours if proving an interesting challenge
-
@babe nice!

The petals as they are now are just something for me to get my bearings and work around. If I can start to /see/ the colours then my brain can start to piece things together, conjure it up, even if it means totally reworking what's laid down.
The branch as well will have the shading reworked at the end based on the rest of it.
It's funny how in my head I can see some pictures to paint so vividly, and some it's a fight all the way

@babe it's amazing for me that you are able to see in your head a picture to paint it !
You can try different versions in your head to choose the one you prefer ?
For me the image only forms when it's on the paper...
Anyway, i love your flowers. -

Anyway, i love your flowers.@Yaiaou In the early stages I can go a lot of different ways, but as it gets to a point I have some colours down it gets pretty fixed. Since I'm working from my head it means I have to try and think of angles and lights and what colours will be right for bright light vs shade, that's where I start to have difficulty
And thank you!

@babe i'm in awe with the ability of picturing somthing in one's head, let alone with such level of details !
