1.31.2011 >>> I'm painting a silversword plant from my Maui trip next. Stay tuned!
2.1.2011
I made a quick sketch of my painting. It is of a Silversword plant in Haleakala National Park in Maui.
2.5.2011
I have been painting the background today. It is looking into the Haleakala volcano crater!
2.6.2011 ~Superbowl Sunday
I added some lighter grey greens to the background and some more purples to the middle ground.
2.12.2011
I started painting the silversword today!
2.13.2011
I started adding some of the shadows around the silversword.
2.15.2011
I started working on the flower part. I added a bunch of yellows and greens and white.
2.16.2011
I added a bunch of white highlights to the silversword. It makes some of the leaves come forward!
2.18.2011
I added some color to the sky and I adjusted some of the cones and lava flow in the background. I also started defining the rocks in the foreground.
2.19.2011
I forgot to take a photo. I only had time to add the lightly colored trail to the left of the silversword.
2.20.2011
I started adding some of the green colors to the silversword. This on is pretty complicated. It reminds me of painting my peacock painting.
2.23.2011
I started adding the flowers today!
2.27.2011
I worked more on the contrast in the leaves today. As I painted I thought about the Van Gogh painting that I copied in college for a project. It was called "Wheat Field with Poppies". The overlapping layers of green leaves feel very similar to me.
2.28.2011
I worked on the flowers more today.
3.2.2011
I worked on the rocks and shadows more today. I think I am finished... hmm...
