Qualities within my own work.

After getting over the fact i felt i was just trying to make a copy and not worry about my brushstrokes looking like Soutines' i enjoyed painting the close up of the cows head. During in the painting there is a time when it looks nothing like what i was trying to achieve but as the layers went on i found the last part most enjoyable.Especially if the brush had picked up more than one colour and it added another unexpected dimension. I liked the pale colours going on last because it suddenly livened up and made the build up of the darker tones worth while. I have liked this way of working and will try to use it in future work.
