I am trying to paint much more loosely. On this painting I got the entire sheet wet, blocked in some basic colors, then went back to put in details.
You can see that the paper is really warped. I used some student grade paper that I had gotten for my kids. I don't know why I did that, but I did. I quickly realized my mistake. I couldn't control the water at all. Everything flowed everywhere. I think you can see what colors held the most weight on this paper. I was hoping to have a nice blue background, but when I went to block in some red and grey, BAMMO, back runs. Oh well, that's ok.
Letting things dry, I went back and, using very little water, started to put in some details and shading. This is what I came up with. I got some good, and some bad. I think its a good effort, but you decide for yourself.
Thank you and enjoy.
