Provence Pots and Geraniums
Oil palette knife painting on canvas panel
This painting was no.13 of the 30 paintings in 30 days challenge. I was quite happy when it was at this stage
But after looking at it for a couple of weeks the lower area of the wall and path needed more definition and the stem on the lhs really bothered me and I had to change it.
I covered the painting in liquin and let it sit for a few minutes to soften the paint surface so that the new paint would adhere better.
Next
- I darkened the wall by adding more purples and blues.
- I painted over that stem and put in a new shorter one more to the left and a suggestion of another small geranium head to breach up the angle of the leaves.
- I altered the colours in the background removing that bright turquoise colour which was jarring
- I darkened some of the flowers and added highlights to others.
