So as i indicated in my last post, i’ve been wanting to play around with painting in a more impressionistic fashion — at least for this experiment. That would mean painting in a much looser manner than is usually the case for me. Also would mean experimenting with different brush strokes; at times different brushes; and working with thicker paint. The original reference is shown in my last post. I didn’t want to try to copy that in an exact fashion, but i love the colors, and wanted to try to replicate some of them. Had a good time with all of this, although i had to force myself to not go after too many details!

I used bristle brushes instead of my usual synthetics. Also had to pay attention and use much thicker paint than i usually do, as that was required in order to “get” some of the brush strokes.
