My least favorite part of art-making is framing:-) It's part of the whole process and it brings real closure on the piece(although, I have been known to take art out of a frame to work on it some more). So, for now, here is some closure on a portrait of Katie. Happy Birthday, Katie.
I also started a watercolor trying to use the principles of composition I have been studying this spring. I will try to lay down some of the color tomorrow. I will call this a study on composition. It is loading sideways, but it is too late to try to redo it. I will snap a photo with paint tomorrow.
Imagine this scene! A famous artist spends weeks, probably months, carefully constructing with his brushes a beautiful painting on a canvas. Little by little the image takes shape, the colours of the background and then the detail of the foreground emerge. Then, when it is finished, and the picture is finally unveiled for all to see, people are amazed at its beauty. Who gets the praise? The picture or the artist?
