Geez, stomach
Aug. 18th, 2023 10:16 pmMy stomach is still fussy. Ugh. It is definitely better than it was, but it is still puffing up and hurting. I'm hoping that we are moving toward stomach sanity, though.
In other news, the still life painting is coming along. I'm starting to add shadow and color (underpainting) to the grapes, which is okay, but not great. However, with the trees, it is the same, so I'm trying to not get upset about it. Delicately painting each grape takes time, though. Basically, the whole rest of it is going to be like this, where I slowly paint the undercolors and shadows then slowly add in the other colors. I've found some images of red grapes (like this one) which I can use as a reference, which should help a lot. Oh, and I found this mint, which will help a lot too, as the mint is going to have to have super dramatic lighting, which is hard to make up in my head.
The other thing that is going on is that we have started the process of moving money around to pay for house repairs. Hopefully, it will move quickly.
