I think I have found a technique I like. it can be seen in the tree. I made thee layers there at one time without waiting for it to dry. I hold the brush the scholastic way to create an unstable look.
Once the bottom layer is down, I decide on a top color that is different. For the bottom outside layer of very slight red (pv19 red shade) mixed with white, then I use the same red on top mixed with slight white. Then on top of that, I use only white in whisps to create swirly lines. These are barely brushed and they create this look.
I did something similar with the violet in the tree. The violet is actually the same red and blue (I think). The whispy white on that bonds the entire tree together.
When I worked on the stars, I used the same techniques. I'm getting better at it.
Left: To create depth, I am overlapping. I am not using the color techniques to create it, but the color changes from the outside of each image to the insides make a unique look
Right: I have always liked birds because I feel that people don't want me to be myself. They expect me to change to be more like them. Even the last woman I had sex with, as soon as she found out I was autistic, she refused to have sex with me anymore, or even speak to me. She told my neighbor (who is a gossip, and told me she-this woman I was having sex with- said this), that she wondered if autistic people were violent (they aren't). Anyway, I have this fantasy that I could get on a large bird or become one, and just fly away to a place that would accept me for me.
I did not wait for it to dry when I added the yellow/white. It caused a blend with the other wet colors. I used a 12 round. I see that when I use a 12 against the smaller brush (filbert here), it makes the smaller part stick out.
I wonder if I make the same technique as before if it will still make the other part stick out?
Right: when you wet on wet, it allows for the edges to not look like edges.
By removing the enhancements of the focal points, the eye has a chance to move on it's own. But because I have so many places to move, and so many continuements, it creates interest. I could enhance the birds to create direction, but instead I am allowing for the eye to do it. I even went as far as to allow overlap in the paint so it looks as if there is biting on each image.
depth is still created but angles are ignored
the houses have no angle but they do have depth, I did sign this, but I photographed before I did it
Results:
I did not like the overall look of the color that this technique created. The brightness of the colors overall was too bright, and the saturation level does not work correctly. The end result was using the white in small strokes didn't do what I had hoped. It didn't mute the colors properly. I don't intend on using this technique in this manner again.
I wonder if I use a smaller brush and tighten the strokes if it will work. It didn't with Posies
This painting has been fully repaired using my new techniques and avoiding what I learned does not work
I have added more trees to create movement. Along with varying saturation levels. The tree in front of the tree is not large eough or heavy saturation. Even though the image are similar looking, they are very different
