SAMPLE PAINTING FOR SWIMMING IN PAINT # 3 - progression steps

For those who attend Swimming in Paint #3 Saturday and those who wanted to try this at home, I made a progression of how the painting was developed using the (3) photo references.

I'm not sure this needs a lot of explanation other than try to complete each element as far as you can before moving to the next. Every once in awhile step back 20 to 30 feet to make sure it feels right and correct anything that doesn't. 

Try looking at the flower, more as colour shapes, than a flower - work perimeter in - if you get the overall shape of anything right the rest will fall in place easier. 

Good luck......send me your results:=) Chuck@larivey.com
