Here is another one of my tree paintings. I tried to make it more interesting with the composition and colors. I like the paint quality and worked with thicker paint and more layers. I may want to work back into it by painting over it and sanding out some of the colors and then work back into it. The problem is that the purple paint takes forever to dry because of how thick it is and all the red in it. We'll see, I may just leave it.
This is my alla prima painting of onions. It means all at once, so you paint wet on wet. I really like painting this way because it's quick, loose, and thick. We were only allowed to spend three hours on it, and I probably spent a good hour mixing the colors. I hope to do some more of these in the future.

This is the first tree painting I did for my class. I don't like it as much as the others I've done since, but I think there are some nice qualities about it. I did a charcoal under of the tree and then painted in all the negative space around it. I've used this method again in my other paintings, and although it takes a lot of time, I think the different values in each space makes for a more interesting piece.
