I'm still working in my sketchbook style right now. I don't want to spend much time attempting to refine a painting when I have so much to learn about the medium. Take this for example.
No, this is not tinted or faded. It's just that pale. I started this painting really weak, with an almost tea colored wash, and tried to layer up to the darker values. By the time I got to this point, there were so many damaged spots on the paper, and I was noticing the bad proportions and color choices so much that I just called it quits. I did learn a bit about washes, and adding texture, but I'm still missing on the values big time. I think the next few sketches will be monochrome, so I can focus on getting the paints darker or lighter without worrying about color. I'll have more to show you soon. Until then, stay strong!
