Pear Tree Sketch

You guys! I finally got a chance to paint again today! Not to get too into the weeds, but I got a chance to try a few things with this painting that I’d been meaning to try - an additional coat of primer on the canvas before painting, and mixing more of my paints with a palette knife. Both of these things seemed to work out quite well, and I’m quite happy with where I‘ve gotten to in this painting. It’s always nice when your mental model of how you hope things would go actually turns out to be correct. It lets you know that the mental model you’ve been developing of how a think works is somewhat accurate.

Look at this most excellent pear tree from our backyard. It even has a bird’s nest in it. Most likely not a partridge nest though, despite the close proximity to christmas…
