On this studio day I was trying to clean everything up a bit so I finalized the little fence and pathway on the side, worked on the leaves some and really tried to get the lighting on the cottage down which I did pretty good but I didn't get to finish it as fully as I would've liked but I had to move onto the next parts in the painting.
Here I worked on the foliage in the front and finished it up and tried to add a lot of texture and layers. I like how it turned out but I wish I got more contrast in the leaves and colors so it's not as messy. I also worked in the tree and made sure to emphasize the atmospheric perspective by making it more blue and by blurring it out.
Today was the last studio day so I finished up the roof, and added the little string of banners. I rushed the background and wished the banners were smaller and that the roof was more of an accurate color. There was really bright lighting though right behind the house and I wasn't able to capture it as well because I ran out of time. After critique I think I'm going to work on it more to further develop the background, capture the light from the sun shining through the roof, and emphasize the light on the house more.
