The painting I completed all the way through was 'Red-Haired Monkey with a Purple Face". The way I developed this subject was I began trying to paint a still life of grapes so I could practice shading on circles, but then I realized my grapes were too far apart and not very 'grape'-y. So I turned in into a face instead, and the monkey just grew out of it. I'm very proud of my new, little friend.
I love that you turned a failed project into something new! That's the best part of art, I think. You can have an idea of what you want and then it turns out to be something totally different.
ReplyDeleteI think it was great that you just went with the flow and let your painting take you where it needed to go. You did an excellent job shading with such a difficult medium as watercolors.
ReplyDeleteI think this was my favorite piece I saw. It is fun and playful and I wouldn't have known that you had a different vision when you started. Regardless of its start, I think the final piece is wonderful!
