Today ends up being a study in making vegetation out of wet-on-dry brush marks. And also, ways to use color and value to break up shapes and revise lighting.
I’ve often said, you need to change color, temperature or value – at least one, sometimes all three, when you bring two shape edges together. So it makes a puzzle of interlocking shapes – even when an area looks uniform in real life – it doesn’t need to be boring in the painting.

This is my 10×10″ oil, “If You Look Really Close, It’s Just Paint“. It’s not really a direct inspiration for today, but it does share the spirt of turning reality into broken brushwork.
