Last week I mentioned it was my goal to have a new painting up on the blog. Well. I can say that I will likely finish said painting today, but as I try to post my blogs in the morning, I don't think that it is going to make it on here today. It's okay though! Painting is an art, not a science, and I'm learning to accept that sometimes paintings take longer than expected. That said, it was during this painting that I finished my very first oil paint tube that I ever bought, Sap Green. Oil paint lasts for awhile, and a little bit goes a long way, so when I bought this large tube, I had no idea that 7 years later I would be just finishing it. Crazy, huh?! So I bid you adieu, Sap Green. I don't even know if I'm going to replace you, as I've found it's a lot of fun to mix blue and yellow together to make your own greens. We'll see!
Below is the palette that I have going on right now for my current painting...lots of earth tones as you can see. Once the painting is done, I will post it...maybe a mid-week blog?! Stay tuned!
