Was doing a little study of 3 roses from a photo. Did a little experimentation with a palette knife at the end to destroy some of what had been created. Adds a little mystery, texture, edge variation. Think I will continue to experiment with this. What do you think?
I agree. Sometimes we have to be willing to stop earlier than we think or destroy any "over-reporting" . It's more challenging to do a loose, suggest vie painting than a fully rendered one.
IMHO. Mystery is a great thing in painting. It gives the viewer room to make their own interpretation:)
