Fresh Beets!
Best way to get your daily vegetables – paint them!
Today, I focused on simplifying my brush strokes to get more expressive paint movements. I set up a cool shadow warm light sequence. I pushed in loose lights with pure yellows to establish the brightness. Then loosely worked in my shape zones.
No I did not count every brush stroke. I did focus on effective color harmonies and working with my larger 1/2 filbert brush.
I absolutely love this painting! It feels so fresh and lush.
