Exercises

A friend showed me a painterly exercise on conceptcookie and I thought I'd try it out. Here's the link to the exercise.

This is my result so far:

I've noticed that my stylistic abilities are lacking. It's a bit hard to let go and think outside of what you normally see everyday. I also have problems with saturation and blending hues. My painting gets pretty muddy and streaky. I also get careless and not zoom in. What I learned is that when painting, it is important to zoom in with a small brush and have more TLC for whatever it is you are painting.
