Off to the Finish...(Part 4)

    Kind of pleased so far.  Need to change the color of the woman's jacket though.  Can't see it.  Either that, or outline it.  I think I'll change it.  Need to add the front foliage and then paint in the seagulls and the simple detail.  
    So, having done all that, I believe I am finished.
   Thank you for joining me in this journey....What should I paint next?

Third step - Part three

        Well, it is 12:15 pm on Saturday.  Getting ready to paint again.  
I opened the pallet box (which is a product by Masterson)  The box is rubberized plastic and seals closed.   If you fold paper towels about 2 1/2 inches wide and place them around the sides, wet them and then place your acrylic paints on top, they stay wet.  In the center, keep either a wet sponge or wet paper towel and the paints last forever.  The center can be used to mix your paints.  I used to waste a lot of paint because the acrylics dry so quickly.
      So by way of my usual procrastination, I shared with the the wonders of my  pallet....
       I guess I should start painting.  My roadblock this time is what color to paint the clothes on the people, and also to decide what they could be sitting on.  Once I pick up the brush, I'll probably be ok.
       I'll be using the easel today.  I already sprayed the paint in the pallet to soften it more.

OK, I painted her shirt yellow and her hair light brown.  We'll build them up later.  Now, for him..  Still a bit nervous about this whole thing.  Silly though because, as I said, I can always paint over it.  I'm using the 1/2 inch flat brush right now.

So far, so good! Getting there.
