In my self-critiques I had already decided that a variation in greens was in order and know where I went wrong with the zuke leaves...I underpainted with yellow, yet completely painted the greens over the yellow and did not vary the greens enough. <BR/><BR/>That, together with not relying on tube greens, is one of my short term goals. I have already stopped using straight tube colors, but mixing more colors with them to get the variations but will pay more attention to mixing my own greens and letting them happen more spontaneously on the paper.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for taking the time to comment on my painting on this blog, your comments are valid and much appreciated!<BR/><BR/>SusanWatercolors by Susan Roperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15091873961431846148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35860643.post-69306865891221993832008-06-26T22:32:00.000-07:002008-06-26T22:32:00.000-07:00Seeing this and the march painting reminds me that...Seeing this and the march painting reminds me that according to a knowledgable friend of mine, green is the color that people truly see differently - you could paint sap green and another sees it as green gold. It might be worth trying to make a lot of variations in your greens in anticipation of the that phenomenon, and to keep it interesting. Great mountains in your April post!Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07901533179774248604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35860643.post-6816804153193590612008-06-17T06:37:00.000-07:002008-06-17T06:37:00.000-07:00This is really amazing and I love it, my own plant...This is really amazing and I love it, my own plants are in flower in my garden and I hope that soon I will have some little veggies to go pick to have with our lunchTerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04198987390035175182noreply@blogger.com
