I decided not only was the picture bad (poor lighting) but the background was way too warm. I put a glaze of FUB on most of the background and a little more red on the Cardinal, I find this works much better. It is funny how if you go away from a painting and then look at it again you see something completely different. What do you think, does this background work better? thanks for looking
He's gorgeous Krista!
Thank you Lori!
yes Krista , I like this better, not that I could see anything wrong with the first background. As to the birds nest? I'd already painted it (first) it was so dead looking that I decided to do a pencil of it instead, I wanted to work on all those little details that I like to get hung up on.
Thanks Barbra, I know what you mean by the details.
I admire your use of the watercolor technique that is particularly complicated and delicate. Great job.
Thank you very much Lozzano!
Krista, this is great! I love it! ~~carolynn
