GROWING OLD GRACEFULLY
I’m trying consciously to paint only in tones that work for the painting instead of exactly what I see. The vase is obviously darker in real life but since subtle is the aim I’ve had to change my game! It’s the first time I’ve painted the whole vase too... I think I prefer closer crops.
The challenging thing about painting the same thing everyday is that you are forced to rethink it/ reinvent it/ change things up in some way. My next thought is to use the little squares from the vase as a pattern in the background too.
