Saturday is painting time!

I seem to be stuck on over working the left hand side of my paintings. I think I may add some pastel and watercolor pencil to this. Maybe jazz it up a bit. I may also paint this again or crop it . Value is a constant problem for me. I really enjoy darks and lights but dark colors are a challenge to mix. This summer my painting teacher had a value tool that was really handy it was a transparent piece of red plastic that you look through to view values. I would love to buy one but don't know where they are sold???





The dog picture is a painting I did for my son's girlfriends mother.
