Still working on my rancher portrait. Added a lot more foliage and trees in the distant background, painted then repainted the jacket to hang more like it was buttoned in the front. Moving the bolo tie around a bit and reshaped the hat some.
Jennifer's voice is reminding me that "you need paint to paint". This advice sounds a bit obvious, but isn't a lot of advice? The point is; I need to remember to mix larger amounts of colors and actually get some paint on the brush. More paint, bigger brushes, soften edges, punch the darks and lights. A painter's job is never done and I need to fight the urge to be wishy-washy.
