Paintings by Troy

I am trying to start with the lighter colors first so that if I happen to go too far out of the lines, I can cover it up with a darker color when I get to that section. So after the yellow, I went to orange.
I have a few shades of green in my supply of paint. This was the lightest shade I had. Once it got onto the canvas, it was darker than I had originally planned, but I continued with it anyway, vowing to figure out something afterward.
Here is where I veered off from my original color scheme. Since the other green was darker than I wanted, I decided to add some white to it and replace most of the dark greens in my rough draft with this lighter shade of green. I think it is turning out better than the original color scheme.

By the way, the reason the canvas is in different positions on the easel is because this painting is being done on a gallery stretched canvas. The sides of the canvas are a little over an inch thick. Therefore, I am painting the sides of the canvas, as well.
