Well I took another trip to the arboretum today. I found a nice place in the shade where there was a seat and a table and I sat down and drew and painted this. This planter was on the side of the pathway and looked like a good subject to start with. Start to finish was just about 1/2 an hour. Thats pretty good. With something like this, I want to work a little quickly. What i hope is that working fast will make me be less literal in my interpretation of the subject and force me to focus on getting color on the paper. I have to say, to some extent I think it really worked.
Looking at the top of the planter, it really does look like the plants in front are closer than those in back. Also, the rocks look like they have some depth to them. Wonderful!! The bowl of the panter is a little flat. I could have fixed that with a little richer color, but I guess that is what I learned from this lesson. Hope you enjoy.
