Well technically its day 8 but we’re not talking about the first attempt to paint the castle. Next picture I do.. definatly no weird lighting.. standard 3 light.. Not 100% happy with it but Technically the blends on the castle are as good as they’re going to get until I get a bunch more practice. I did a lot of blending and its still mostly luck wether I get the effect I want when I make a stroke.. sometimes the paint on the brush stays on the brush.. some times it decides to make a thick sharp stroke and sometimes it come out with this beautiful soft edged blend between what was already on the canvas and what’s on the brush..
I guess that’s the whole ‘practice’ thing…
Oh well here’s where things stand.
So Next up is the big blends on the sky.. that promises to be exciting.. but I need to buy some more pthalo blue and another tube of white and a thing of blending medium before I can tackle that..
So that means its Sunday at the earliest.. more likely i’m done til next week.
[Edit: almost forgot]
Oh and here’s a picture of the palette at the end .. its actually kind of a fun texture and visual
