clementines 5 x 7 oil
So this painting was a one stroke challenge posted on the daily paintworks website. The challenge was to mix a new color for each stroke and use a brush at least 1/2" wide. The paint color part was not too much of a challenge. That was how I was trained. "putting color next to color" was how it was put for us. The challenge for me was using the wider brush. It was hard for me not to go in and add the finer lines especially on such a small painting. It was also freeing to me. It was all about the color and not defining the objects. It is almost abstract.
