Final

Here's the final painting for the class.  I was a little behind on this painting so I hurried with it.  Hurrying helped me to loosen up a bit, but it also helped that I did a lot of thinking with it before hand.  I am pleased with the results.  This is a study of a picture from "Field and Stream" Oct 2007.  The colors are a bit different but the positioning is the same.  I used Cadmium Red, Cobalt Blue, Azo Yellow, Burnt Sienna, Raw Sienna, and Yellow Ochre.

A Rose, some Cats, Snow, and a Dog

Here is my tweaked version. Basically all I did was add a few shapes so that one shape wouldn't stand out so much.

 I should have used the flash on my camera so this wouldn't look so yellow, but I didn't, so we'll have to live with it.  I darkened the foreground and added detail to the lions and added my signature.  I like it better with the tweakage.

 This is a project we did with compliments and for some reason when I pick out specific colors I have a hard time making the picture look real. I'll have to work on that.  But it looks okay.  The colors were Yellow-orange, Blue-violet, Red-orange, and Blue-green.

This painting was done with the old master's triad (Burnt Sienna, Paynes Grey, Yellow Ochre).  I enjoyed doing it.
