PAINTING IS FUN!

Had a good day yesterday. I made sure i had a full day set aside for just painting and it worked for a change. I started by building up brighter colours on top of the shapes because the the colours had started to look dirty mixed in with the umber background. As i was doing this i was not happy with the flatness that was happening.So i experimented with thicker paint and different brushstrokes. This was it! I loved it! This build up of layers gave each shape more depth which is something that must appeal to me. I came away from the painting feeling excited that it was looking much better than i ever imagined it was going to be. I have not looked at the painting this morning so i hope i still feel the same when i do.
