more paint more paint more paint!!!!
and yet sometimes i think i may be too loose...i was i a plein air workshop last year with three really great artists..on the first day, i was with the first guy and i was tearing through something and he said..."whoa there!!"..so i'm trying to be a bit more deliberate. still love the fast and loose - and that's why those ten minute studies are great - we just can't noodle that much in ten minutes!!
Susie.Yes, a lot of sense! : ))
one more thing..i'm also learning that it's ok to "lick" or work over the darks - they're not supposed to be noticed...it's in the light parts that i'm really trying to be brave and forceful. make sense?
nancy - my big problem is not putting out enough paint..then when it gets low i try and use it up...i hate to waste...(remember those starving children in china?? or maybe you're not old enough to have heard that from your parents growing up..lol..)..anyway - i digress...i love juicy paint - i am trying very hard to learn to just put it down and leave it. very hard for me because i tend to noodle...you know the old phrase.."it's never done til it's overdone!"?...sometimes happy accidents occur and i am learning to just let them be..for instance, i used a pallette knife for the lightest light on the side of the white jug..i got fortunate with the swipe and had the good sense to just leave it!...it's always a struggle, isn't it..but so much fun!!!
thanks kiddo - as white as it is..it may be drawing your eye away from the other stuff...but at least i think it's a bit better
