Here is one of the pieces I am working on this week; as I discussed on Monday
I ordered some circular wooded panels from "Woodpeckers" sanded and gessoed them; then started on them with pencil to work out the designs from a combination of my imagination and the shapes I see in the wood. I have to admit; I like the way the pencil looks so much I might used little if any paint to create the finished product; perhaps I will varnish them. Any suggestions?
Here is how the piece looked when I posted on Monday.
I cannot say for certain whether I improved the overall look of the piece; but I have added some definition to some shapes, neatened the image and added contrast.
Here is how the photo of my work today looks without Gimp filters.
Look forward to sharing my progress on other pieces this week; thank you for your support.
