"Belle Fleurs" watercolor by Carrie Waller
|
This is a commissioned piece that I've recently painted. I have painted this painting before. I had 2 clients interested in the same painting, so what do you do in that situation. I have encountered this problem a couple of times. I decided I would never paint the same painting in the same size. So this piece is quite a bit larger than the first rendition. And it's quite a bit different. When you paint at a larger size you can get more of the little details in. I also worked out an interesting technique for blending the background. Once I laid down the pigment I was able to use several dry brushes to softly blend the colors together. It worked really well and I'm thrilled to have another technique in my repertoire.
Last week I had a guest blogger Kim Minichiello, she did a post on trademarks,
you can read that here. It is invaluable information and something every artist should know. This Wednesday I will have the follow up article about copyrights, so stay tuned and check back on Wednesday. I'm so glad to have these questions answered.
