More Peacock and Grisille

Title: Peacock- Pavao (Work in Progress)
Medium: Oils on stretched Canvas
Size: 19.5x23.5
Inspiration: Peacock on a farm that Ali and I went horseback riding at. Another painting I brought to my class with  Lynn Gertenbach. 

She really helped me with the luminosity of him and she helped me work out the background. There is a bit more I want to work out but overall I like the way it is coming along.  To see the three previous step you can look here, here, and here.

 

Title: Peach Grisille 

Medium: watercolor on paper

Size: approx 10 x 10

Inspiration: First painting for my Watercolor 1 Summer class. This is the under-painting.  I chose a peach because they are in season right now and the leaves are from my nectarine tree.  I think it is an interesting almost octopus like composition.
