Studies: All Good Birds Leave For Winter (Teach Me To Fly)


I hardly ever work with blue, but I knew i would need to on this painting so i decided to make some side studies to help me out. Here is my initial concept for the painting, it was to have a horizontal color wash as the main background. Of course everything is always tentative and never set in stone. The final piece ended up having a mix of horizontal and vertical washes... just goes to show everything changes haha


Swatches in blue... and a random doodle.


Swatches in warmer hues... halfway through planning, I thought I'd like to add some warm tones to help signify the period in season that the painting alludes to, but finally found it unnecessary. The colors are off, but you get the idea :]
