Working on two bird of paradise paintings simultaneously... It's interesting to me that the two paper have such drastically different handling qualities, which dictates how I need to work on them... I am glazing patiently on the Arches but try to get both of my color and value relationships correct in any shapes I painted in one go on the Fabriano, and I an intrigued to see if the final results have only slightly different looks, or actually look quite similar with only subtle differences...

Hello Arena:) I'm sure they both are going to be beautiful. Love the colors already! I'm looking forward to the next step:)
ReplyDeleteHi Arena. I'm not sure if it's your handling or the paper, but the Fabriano certainly looks like it more deeply accepts the color.
