    When you really want keep painting and you don’t have time to wait for paint to dry, use a hairdryer as suggested. it is such a help! You don’t have to blast it with super heat. You can use a cold air too. It’s a game changer. If you have your paper taped down on the edges on your board, hot air...

    Probably the last Christmas commission this year.

    Oh, they’re gonna love it. That’s a wonderfully warm painting, and expression on their faces. It will always be treasured.

    Playing to get an idea. I'm editing a section of a large painting.

    I thought it looked familiar! What do you mean the base exactly? The base colour or the bottom part?

    Exactly, and it may not happen very often but it does happen to all artists. And it has to happen. Not just because we all make mistakes, but we’re hopefully pushing ourselves to try something different/ new or try something more. And a lot of people see people who are very good at making art...

    Red Onion in Inktense

    👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Wonderful Joy!! Wow, I just love seeing the skill in this piece. It has a beautiful quality coming off the page. What’s coming across on my screen is very realistic because of something you’ve done in the soft lighting where my eye focuses. You used a softer edge / colour that makes...

    Oh, I’m so glad you didn’t throw that out Grapes. I’ve almost done the same. I waited years and then found paintings I had abandoned and I decided to finish them. And this time it wasn’t a problem. Not only did I have fresh eyes for the piece, but really it was all the art I had been doing in...

    Yes, I remember our professor’s teaching us never to use straight black if you can help it. Better to make your black. It’s just richer and is not flat or “dead” to the eye. This will avoid that. I like putting some reds in my black or l phthalo green. Or just mix paint together so you’re not...

    a colorful exploration

    It actually does help when you get stuck. I think about it a lot doing a piece. When trying to decide what I’m going for, what is feeling off, what is possibly missing, and recognizing why an area is working. Looking at the elements. I keep thinking of my old art prof who was a very...
