You know when you start a painting and immediately you know you are over your head? Well this is it for me....any artists friends feel free to jump in and direct because I'm at a standstill!!! I started this a week ago, got frustrated, the paint is too dry to fuss with, as is my mixed paint on the palette....I need a quick fix or I'm going to paint over it! suggestions???
Stop! It's gorgeous. You need to stop looking at it now. Face it to the wall for a week and then look again. You'll be able to see it truly then. If you must do anything, try looking at it in a mirror. That often helps me. But you know I think it's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIts already gorgeous, as is.
ReplyDeleteStay away from it and than come back.
Stop! Step away- you have a gorgeous painting here.....not sure what you don't like but it is wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteSet it aside and paint another one. When you finish your second look at them both side by side and see what you like about each. The next one will come that much easier. Sometimes music helps me depending on the look I am going for. Rock and Roll helps me loosen up and get more energy into the piece while classical helps me relax and focus. Depends on your mood. Have fun with it and don't worry about making a masterpiece. Enjoy yourself.
ReplyDeleteWow, thank you all for the suggestions and comments!!! I'm going to do a combination of suggestions, turn it away for a week, paint another, and then look at both! I'll keep you all posted! Thanks so much for taking the time to give me your thoughts!
