Today I got to paint in the studio. I am working on my koi painting. It has been weeks. That is the good thing about pastels. You can leave it out and start again at a later time.
I am toning down the fish and giving them shadow and shape. I am also defining the rocky pond floor.
This is a large painting. Everything happens step by step. After defining the rock bottom I will go back in and soften most of it. After I tone down the fish, I will go back in and highlight certain fish or a certain part of a fish that needs it.
I am really getting itchy to finish this painting and frame it and put it over our fireplace. I'm tired of what is there now!!!! Plus, I have a lot of plein airs waiting for me to finish!
Onward, ho!
