Sandi Hester

I feel like I haven’t had much time in the studio in months and I’m locking myself in the studio this week! I wanted to give myself some exercises instead of just jumping into a painting – I need some warming up. So I’m doing value studies and decided to take some of my old paintings and rework them. I played around with some old paintings on my editing program and put filters on some of them – changing not only the colors but changing the values also and I’m painting from those filtered pictures of old paintings (does that make sense???!!). Here’s the first one I did below: 1st pic is my new painting, 2nd pic is the filtered picture I painted from, and the last pic is of my old original painting. I’m going to do this with some more paintings too and if they turn out I will share them with you.
