I love how you regrouped and painted a 2nd painting based on what you didn't like about your first attempt. I really like the 2nd painting and think the woman in the foreground is very welcoming.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18355326977935582850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5857427025159398186.post-89349004567587434492013-12-08T12:53:45.124-08:002013-12-08T12:53:45.124-08:00Thank you Renate.

The blue makes a better balance. About the letters; could you maybe erase some small parts of the letters instead of trying to making the letters straight? It´s just an idea, as you mentioned it. If you do; you could concentrate on erasing the parts that you think is too "crocked" or what you called it. And just paint in the backgroundcolour afterwards. Thank you for sharing such a lovely painting and referencephoto.
