I may have gone off the deep end with this one. I'm trying to break down a tangle of vines without getting overwhelmed by the mass of potential details.
So I've resorted to masking fluid (didn't I recently write that I didn't like using it?) to assist me in my task.
I've painted lighter areas of leaves, masked out shapes within those areas, and returned (when dry) to add darker values. Mask again, wait, and repeat with a darker wash. And repeat again.
At this point, the painting reeks of latex and ammonia, and I'm wondering what things actually look like under all that gooey masking fluid.
Stay tuned!
