Last week I was challenged to paint a green guitar, a yellow background and an orange/red tablecloth using complementary colours … (here is that post). This week we worked to finish that painting – using the actual colour scheme of the still life. Phew.

The idea of the exercise was to produce some “zing” when the underpainting is allowed to show through to the finished painting. Great exercise. Harder that it sounds … or at least that is how I felt 🙂

I like the finished painting. I didn’t like it for a long time as I was painting it. In the end though, I think it worked OK. (I still don’t think I will rush back to paint more guitars …)!
