- ‘Above Dalwhinnie’ – work in progress
‘Work in progress – continued – Above Dalwhinnie’, Acrylic & Pastel, 2011, 80 x 80 cm
Last week I posted a photo of a painting that I was working on. This week I thought it might be interesting to show you the same painting ….but in a more advanced state. I’ve worked on the painting for a couple of days and I feel that the composition is getting better. The balance of the painted and drawn marks is much closer now to what I’ve been trying to achieve.
I’ve now got this painting sat against the studio wall where I can see it while I get on with other pieces. I may return to it in a day or so …or leave it for several weeks before making a decision about it. Once I’m fairly sure that it’s close to being finished I’ll probably put it into a temporary frame so that I can get a better idea. It’s strange but I find I can judge a piece better once it has a frame around it….even if it is just one of the old frames I keep in the studio for the purpose.
