Work in Progress: High Summer Dreams II & Petal Light III (Continued)

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...

  2. Hi 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.
