Progress Post 20

Five hands down! The process of taking pictures of hands and painting them has been pretty relaxing. Stepping back however, the detail of the hands is definitely lost in the mass of parking tickets. The messy brushstrokes also aren't helping, but I think if I push the brightness of the skin colors and contrast with some shadows and details, I'll be able to resolve the painting. Coach hall also added tips on pushing the contrast with the background and maybe adding another hand or another element entirely. I think over this week and weekend I will definitely have to push the contrast between the hands and the blue-green, but I'm losing a little steam. I think putting the tickets in certain spots is preventing me from creating texture with the colors of the hands, but it is what it is. There was no way I could've known I was going to be painting the hands like this.
