Cossetta's on a Rainy Night
Original oil painting by Jeanne Ross
November 24, 2021
Painted in studio from photographs taken by Jeanne Ross.
Critics of linear perspective may think my drawing is off. Don't blame the drawing - it is the photo that is off. Several images were combined to create to final image used for the painting. I liked the Cathedral in one image, and the restaurant facade in several other images. The foreground was expanded to fill some blank space. I was so pleased with my compositing skills that I did not notice the perspective imperfections. I did notice them as I painted the picture though, and negotiated the lines as much as I could. The rest I will have to live with.
As an artist I have been focusing on changing color without changing value, and using color value more - combined with simple color tints to change value. My unity before variety is a work in progress.
