What with Christmas and all the hectic drama that comes along with that, today is the first time in nearly a month that I have had chance to work on the waterfall painting. After spending 5 hours painting in the foliage today, I sat back and looked at the painting and felt completely dejected - to me it looked exactly the same and I felt like I had wasted the entire afternoon. However, after comparing the picture I had taken of the painting prior to starting and then the picture of where it stands now, it is incredible to see the difference between the two:
Before:
After:
The colours have been slightly distorted by the photograph, some of the greens are closer to that in the first picture than the second, but the difference between the 2 pictures has really shocked me. The picture overall looks a lot more realistic, and whilst there's still a lot of work to be done, seeing the progress definitely helps to keep the motivation going!
I will hopefully have time to work on the painting tomorrow so there will be another update coming soon, but until then, I hope everyone has a great New Year!
