Art in Progress: Bear Park pt. 4

field and background.

i don't really have a set pattern when i paint. i know some people like to render in the backgrounds first in order to incorporate and blend in the main figures to the bg and get that color harmony. some like to do the main focal point then the bg. i started with the background first in this instant because i was worried how the bg would come off. was i going to get what i pictured in my head or was it going to give me problems. in which case, i didn't want to have painted in the main bodies only to, possibly, start over. (sure in this day and age, with photoshop, one could easily take the figure from one image and drop it onto another, but when possible, i like to have everything all in one- call me old fashioned :) thankfully in this case, it came out well. i was worried that i would screw up the blades of grass and mess up the contrast of light colors against the darker grain. especially the way i paint, it's easy to go too dark, too fast. but i'm happy and i'm moving on.
