Here is my initial idea for my next
painting.
This is just a rough sketch of one of the churches I visited in Africa.
Starting with a blue sky.
(This one is pretty big so it is difficult to photograph in progress... so
please forgive my poor photography.)
Changed the sky a lot by adding more texture.
Added the tree and ground.
Inspirations of the day:
Tree 63 :"The Answer to the Question"
The World Series Game 4: Red Sox v. Cardinals
Lunar Eclipse
Worked on the foreground and also made the orange under painting of the tree thicker.
Inspiration of the Day:
Tree 63: "The Answer to the Question."
Starting to add some contrast.
Musical inspiration of the Day:
Classical music on the radio.
I had a lot of time to paint today and I am really starting to get excited about how this one is turning out!
I especially like how the people and foreground are starting to come together.
I also spent a lot of time composing the branches.
Musical inspirations of the Day:
Tree 63: "The Answer to the Question."
Classical music on the radio.
K-LOVE Christian
radio.
I worked on the branches a lot today. I thought a lot about where in space each branch should go and also about what colors will make it appear that way. This has been quite a fun challenge so far!
I also worked with colors in the trunk quite a bit.
Musical Inspirations of the Day:
Tree 63: "The Answer to the Question." (I know I am obsessed
with this CD but man is it good!)
K-LOVE Christian radio.
So yesterday and today I have been working on the trunk. I decided that I wanted it to have a more tree-like texture. I still have a lot of decisions to make on this one... even though it may seem to be almost done.
Musical Inspiration of the Day:
Caedmon's Call: "Share the Well."
(Special thanks to my friend Chris Matthews for giving me this CD. It makes me want to jump on a plane to Africa to start some more churches!)
