Last week, I decided I need to go bigger. So I purchased some inexpensive 16X20 canvas and textured them. I like the texture. Some how going bigger made me want to draw everything bigger than necessary. (I need to make a mental note not get carried away with size).
I pushed myself out of my comfort zone and went for it which was good. I loosened up at the beginning but as I struggled with this study, I lost the values and color. I didn't verify my drawing. Basically, when I am unsure of what do to do, I go back to old bad habits. I overwork and end up with a mediocre painting.
The patient and kind instructor rendered the flower and helped with the vase to get me back on track.
I am going to continue with this size as much as I can with this process.
Not a great painting but a great learning lesson. Sometimes that is the better goal.

Thank you. I am having fun but I was exhausted when I got home. I was pushed out my comfort zone and it was worth it.
