It’s official. Yesterday was a bad painting day.
I realised all too late that I had lost the strong blue tone to the background. Once I lost this I had no key to work to. So the first job today was simply a blocking in exercise. This immediately grounded the painting and from this I was able to re-establish the tone and space in the picture.
How many times do you have to learn the same lesson!
Well the painting is advancing nicely and my sense of well-being is temporarily restored.
