1918 GOUACHE PAINTING IN PROGRESS (2 of 3): Another painting video. It took me awhile to figure out what I wanted to do with her belt and hat, so I ended up looking at a color wheel. That solved my problem. I just went for the complimentary color area of yellows. That would be purples. by this point in today's work, I was getting pretty comfortable with gouache paint. The only thing I really need to work on is a little more contrast on her skirt. The skirt was the first thing I did and I was really nervous about it, so there's not enough contrast. I can go back and add more though. This painting is adapted from a 1913 reference photo into a 1918 influenza pandemic composition that I'm using to sort of memorialize the similar pandemic we're going through now. These women look like they're on a nice stroll going about their business until you look closely and notice they're wearing masks. It reminds me of exactly what's happening now.

CHAMBERLAIN PROJECT DRAWING VIDEO: Now I know why I have wrinkles between my eyes whether I'm relaxed or not. I do that worried face when I'm concentrating. I guess you can say you literally see my creativity in my face! Cookies are baked. They came out pretty well. Now I am hard at work on trying to finish the Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain project to raise money for the preservation and restoration of his home in Maine. This piece of art depicts Chamberlain the night after the Battle of Quaker Road. He's having an intimate moment with his letters from his wife. At Quaker Road, he was almost fatally shot once again. I'm confident I can finish this before I go to bed tonight. I really need to finish it, in fact, because I have several commissions that need to be done plus a painting of the 1918 influenza pandemic. I'm up to my eyeballs in work right now but I'm grateful for it. The challenging part for the remainder of this piece is going to be creating a campfire lighting effect back there in the tent area. I would know how to do it if I was painting or using markers but this is black and white. It's a little bit challenging. I think I'm going to study other artists who have done it to see what techniques they used. And as you can see, my coworker is micromanaging me today. After this, the cat sat right down on @guywgane3 / Chamberlain's face. 🤣 I'll make another post later tonight when I am totally finished with this piece. Fingers crossed that it all turns out well!
