Painters Tip
This is a great way to study and improve your paintings. I like to take older studies and paint them again if I like the composition or some feature of the painting. The first painting below was done about five years ago on location, not corrected or touched up.
The second painting was inspired by the first one. I changed to acrylic for the medium and did the second painting in studio with the triadic palette. Even though I liked things about the first and especially liked the composition, I wasn't entirely happy with the palette or contrast in the first painting. Studying it to paint again has improved several aspects of the original composition.
This is a wonderful way to reconsider paintings and improve on technique, both in palette choices, composition, values etc. It is also a lot of fun. You end up with a good painting, usually better than the first effort.
Original painting was in oils
Second painting was in acrylics
