Golden Path (Oil Bar Painting Day 7)
Originally uploaded by randubnick
This is an oil bar painting in progress as of Jan 22. After posting a photo of this painting yesterday, I decided that the shadowy part of the path was losing the orange and yellow tones. So today I mixed up some golden apricot color and added some of it, applying it as a glaze in some places, and in others, stippling it on over the purple shadows. I was hoping to create the effect of leaves on the path. I think the color is better now, though I know it is hard to see by comparing photos, because this one was taken in artificial light, while the others were taken in sunlight. While I was working on this painting, I also made a few more little adjustments to the lines in the painting, putting my ruler right up on the canvas, to try to improve the perspective. Now I am just about ready to say this painting is done. Anyway, I am running out of time to do more! However, if I see something that needs to be fixed, I will.
