More Pointillism!
This painting was done on a larger sheet of paper than my earlier ones as my sketch book was filled and finished with the painting of the other day. I began with a thin wash of gouache, putting in the basic colors of the sky, fields, house and trees. From there, I began the dots. And more dots. And even more dots. Paint went from thin to thick, and thin again. Dots were bigger and smaller. The closer I came to the completion of the painting, the more I began to use the paint to shape the different areas of the subject. I tried to use some complementary colors in shadows, such as red in the shadows of the trees, and bright yellow to enliven the lavender. Altogether, this painting took about 3-4 hours to complete (I lost track of time), but in the end, the dots were worth the effort.
I think I could live here.

Well done! This painting is quite successful, I think. You are using the dots of colour in a more sophisticated way now. Do you think you will carry on with this experiment?
Yes this one is a big improvement on the others you did, much more refined and controlled. Well done, I’d live there too!
Thanks, Fraggy! Off to wherever it is we go!
Thanks, Margaret! Yes, more paintings to come . . . like tomorrow!
Wonderful result, Naomi! The message came through your very expressive painting. Thank you!
Thanks, Fabio. I was rather pleased as the light was expressed the way I wanted it to be. Glad you enjoyed it!
Highest points, in my opinion: The flowers, the trees, and the sky that seems another field of flowers. Bravo!
Thanks again!
Have a nice and safe weekend, you and your family! 🙂
