I think it's more "when you paint weird and unintuitive shapes by feel/intuition, you end up with really weird results" but that's just my opinion.

TheQueen

KC - probably true. I was thinking that painting nature would grant me a lot of forgiveness, but not enough for peonies.

KC

Peony petals do curvy things that... don't make a lot of sense. Generally, yes, nature = some things will be wonky = your painting can be a bit wonky. But when you're dealing with how light/shadow interact on petals that are curved like that: there's not a lot of margin before it just looks *wrong* and at any given stage, if it's something you can't either analyze or intuit reasonably easily, then you don't know whether it looks wrong because of the stage or whether it looks wrong because it will always look wrong because something *is* wrong with the light/shadow, so... maybe no peonies yet.

TheQueen

KC - well the glazed project is all peonies, but a close-up.

KC

May the close-up-ness give you enough to work from that you can "see" in enough ways to have confidence and to fix glitches! Good luck!

TheQueen

KC - I tell myself that’s what happens, sometimes. The path of learning is not always straight.
