As you can see, I've worked through the tough spot (see last post), and rays of hope have started to shine -yeah, I think this will turn our alright. :)
It's probably good I'm posting all this in my blog. I think I tend to forget how much I work through each problem while painting. It's good to remind myself how much tweaking and adjusting I do all the way to the end.
I've put a little more work into the figures and have fleshed out their hands and adjusted their overall proportions to be a little more accurate. I took the time to photograph my hands in similar positions, in similar lighting, for reference. I tilted the guy's head back. I felt it really important they have eye contact.
There's still work to be done, but after all, I'm just sharing a work in progress.
I've slightly adjusted my original story idea and changed a few things. My goal is to try and say as much within the painting without needing to rely on a title or explanation.
I added some pumpkins and will later paint in the vines for the final version. I felt it really needed something more -plus pumpkins are so 'Halloween-ish."
I need to get into 'crunch' mode to finish this before the weekend -which may mean working on it for 2 hours each night rather than the regular 1. ;)
But honestly, at this stage things tend to come together pretty quickly.
Stay tuned! . . .
