This is the project I am working on right now. It started out as an observational painting, because I sketched the subject from real life, but when I actually started the painting on a canvas I just started drawing whatever I thought of. Eventually I used a reference picture for the leaves. This is my first experience using oil paints and I've learned a lot about them. I like using them because they're really pretty and the blending is smooth, but they take a long time to work with. This is the longest I have ever worked on a painting. As challenges popped up I taught myself to calm down and move on. I can always go back to something if I mess up. Let it dry and cover it up.
