Paint by blog with Coop, part 2

By at 11:39 am Wednesday, Aug 24

Here's the second installment of Coop's blog series documenting the process behind a new painting.

I applied the brilliant blue with the same #14 brush, but I really slopped it on extra thick, to build up an impasto texture. I love throwing around paint, it makes me think I know what I'm doing.

One last small thing for the day. I painted the fingernails with my beloved cadmium red. I'll go back over this a few times to ensure that the red is really vibrant.

As more and more of the blank canva fills with color, the color harmony starts to make more sense, but it also creates new challenges. I'll be spending tonight figuring out the color I wanna use for the highlights in the hair.
