Adelaide winter has just officially began. The past few days have been rainy and cold and it feels good to stay home and enjoy a steaming cup of tea while reading a good book. Unwittingly, I think I have developed a mild case of addiction to Nutella over the last few days as a result of not having a lot to do besides eating (darn!). In between spoonfuls of Nutella, I managed to sit down and spend a few moments working on this painting. Actually, am enjoying this one because this is typically not how I would do a painting ( I like the more detailed look ). Thus, I find this one a bit of a challenge. Typically, I apply colours thickly and quickly and rub/blend often to get a more softer look. With this one however, I tend to apply colours lightly, sparingly and in layers and without a lot of blending or rubbing. That is why one can still see a lot of the texture of the base paper. Personally, I find this method/approach a lot slower and more disciplined. Anyway, still some more painting sessions left on this before it's finished! Let's see how it goes! Happy weekend everyone!
