Looking at the painting, the first suggestion and a big rule - there are no hard edges. Look at the distant area where the sea comes on the shore, the line there is too hard, soften it out. Take another look at Nolan's painting/the replay.
Mary, for heaven's sake put that exacto knife down! You're making me nervous! I love the colors, even though they might not be right on with Nolan's. I still have to watch this replay as we were away for the live class.I'm absolutely sure, there's nothing that can't be fixed if need be.You are a very good painter whether you realize it or not!
I don't think you must beat yourself up about this painting because I like it very much. You seem to have a different style that has developed here and I like it. Your colours are lovely and warm and rich.
Mary, Mary, Mary. I do not say this lightly as I am doing a tapdance on my android. So if I bite off my tongue I'm holding you responsible, and Lloyd will most likely be forever greatful. This is not a bad painting. Why? Because you are not a bad painter. See the correlation? Your colouring may be different, but that's ok...it's your painting and your interpretation. I'm pretty certain Nolan doesn't want to see 20 mirror images come back. Relax, and be the the wild rebel we know you are! Show us your colours ... you never know, they may become PB classics!
