It took me like 3 times longer to complete the #2 than the #3, and I think I overworked a lot on the second one. I tried to be more economical and efficient on the 3rd one, but the painting seems to be lack of detail.
I still like my first one much more, I tried to get that feeling of Chinese painting back to the 2nd and 3rd, but I think I failed on both. Somehow I feel it’s because of the amount of Indigo I use…for the first one I use Indigo on almost all the mix of colors, and I believe that’s partly the reason it has strong atmosphere in it. I get rid of Indigo and use ultramarine and burnt siena; I even added some alizarin crimson to the sky… and the result was a disaster…the sky wasn’t deep enough and the mixture of ultra marine and burnt siena just make the hole painting too dull…
