NEW PAINTING STAGES 6 6A+6B

Detail of Aloe


This is the almost there stage. I'm still working on the Aloe but the stones and earth in the pots are almost finished. I'll let the those areas dry while I build up the bowls next. It really is a case of looking and looking. I'm still not happy with the quality of the surface of the Aloe yet. It isn't glossy and it isn't matt. I really don't feel I've captured the watery fulness, if that's they way to describe it. Sometimes the light falls onto it and there's a translucency that needs expressing. 
 
I need to bring the bowls up to the same level before I have another look at the Aloe and I'll make a start by having another look at the green bowl.

I wish I could say that the mind has been still during this painting, but it hasn't, there has been so much noise there.
