The last painting I made felt like I was hitting my head against a wall. Much as I tried I just couldn't take it any further. Well a good night's sleep helps provide a bit of prospective and so I have produced this. I feel it is a marked improvement on the last painting however with one or two flaws, not least of which was the choice of the colour of the underpainting which meant that no matter what I did the final result was not quite the colour I had intended. Of course this could have been overcome if I had not decided to produce the painting as if I was in the real world i.e. all on one layer, rather than putting the underpainting on a separate layer and then painting over it on a different layer. All valuable lessons for the future. Perhaps the most important lesson, however, was to get the original drawing, upon which this is painted, as accurate as possible. For me this is really quite hard given the way I work in the real world but it was worth the frustration it created whilst trying to achieve this. Overall a good start to the new year...lets hope that it bodes well for future endeavours. Happy New year.
