New painting in progress- Modelling Paste experiment

Normally I start my paintings with a rough sketch and then work in the modelling paste. But this time I have decided to add the paint and see where it goes. And since I have a tendency of taking a painting in a completely different direction, I have my camera on hand to record the silliness that happens with my instincts.

Okay so it took a completely different direction. After playing with these colours.....I didn't like it too much so it was back to the drawing board with Gesso. I think this is what I wanted and I am happy with it now.
It figures my memory card reader crapped out on my. I'll load the pic as soon as I get an new one

So this is where I went with it. I still have some work and details to work on.....hopefully I can stay with the same colours....we'll see

This is where I started:

of course I had to tint it....and then of course I went over to the other side by adding too much dark colours. This is one of the things I have a problem with...I need to put caution on all my dark and iridescent paints. Live and learn is not working for me.
