#138 6/28/19 Stadium Seating

Another photo off of Pexels.  The blue color, the repetition of the seats, the patterns, and the numbers are things I wanted to put down.  It was a bit overwhelming at first, but then I tried to go about it systematically.  I loaded the brush with a particular blue shade and did all those bits before I could move on to the next shade.  At the end, I added the numbers.  I tried to keep things loose, as I felt too much detail would detract from the nice pattern of blues.  Then I stood back from a distance and decided the blue wasn't right....it was a much lighter version of the turquoise that my brain insisted was there, so I added a bit more pigment to the seat-backs and then decided I was going to ruin the feel of the painting if I dinked much more with it.  So I called it done.
