Wolf's Sketches

[Lyraina]

The luminous and vibrant atmosphere of your 2 hour study above is really nice! If you're pressed for time, I think it can be a good thing to really concentrate on one (or two) areas where you want the viewer to look at, and let the rest stay really loose and painterly. If you pull the viewer's attention with value and contrast to the right spots, it might appear as if there's a higher level of finish than you really painted.

For some reason I'm quite fond of the way you did the plants in the foreground of the environment, with those little spots! Looking cute.

Glad you returned to painting. Even though it is not an easy path to take for sure.
