6 Soften the edges
I always try not to be a slave to reality, though I do utilise it and respect it. Ultimately, it’s my creation, so I’m the boss. I decided that I really didn’t like that yellow behind the hotdog, so I used my palette knife to scrape it back. Doing this prevents the replacement colour from becoming muddy, but I still chose a light aqua blue to allow for the fact that some of the yellow would meld in.
I worked on the edges, softening those that were too sharp such as the cast shadow, and I prettied up the outside of the bun before calling the painting done. www.feliciaforte.com
