I have decided to paint Violet again- this time at her beloved window.
I'm starting with the layout of the room.
I changed the color of the carpet. Made it more muted with blue grays and white. (The yellow was still wet.) I also began working on the window sill (which still has a ways to go) and I change the blue on the inner side of the window to a lighter blue to show the light coming in. I also started the pains in the glass though I am not sure I like how the line in the middle looks crooked.
I worked on the window sill by adding white and making it a bit wider. I also added white to the trim near the floor and a darker line for a shadow.
I made the sill even wider and started to add the pains in the glass. There are a lot of parallel lines to deal with here. They may end up causing my head to spin...ahhh...
I started adding the blinds today. I am trying to show the light peaking through at each slat which requires a gradation on each stripe.
I am still blocking in the shapes of the blinds. I will have to go back and fine tune the colors once I get all the shapes in though.
I added more definition to the shades and I also added the brick and shutter on the right outside of the glass and began painting the yellow bad dog sign on the left. Also, at the bottom I added some orange in the shadow which really pops with blue, its compliment.
I added some white to the blinds. I also started working on painting the tree and the street outside the window.
I added Violet, her bed, and her ball today!
I added Violet's bone today. It often gets stuck to the carpet so it sticks up in the air. I also started adding the blind strings.
I added more blind strings today.
I decided that I needed to work on unifying the color and shading of the blinds so I am repainting each line. Goodbye- blind strings!
I added the blind strings back. Almost finished...
