My wife picked this mango up for me yesterday to paint. It was really interesting to try to transition from the green to red while painting "wet-on-wet." The thinner I kept the paint the better. Since I have started adding the medium to my paint I have noticed that my technigue has changed a pit. I no longer draw the painting with raw umber before I paint. Now, I mix the darkest value of the object I am painting and basically start from the outside and work to the middle toward my lights. During that process I always seem to "lighten up" my darks so I have to go bank in at the end and darken up some spots to make the painting turn. Hope you like it. Thanks for stopping by.
