lesson #2

Last night I tried again at the brush. I think I need to watch that guy on tv. He seems to be able to do it in a few minutes and it looks good. I am confused..... This is harder than it looks. I am beginning to think it may take 2 or possibly 3 more canvases before I got this perfected! Ha! Anyway.. I learned two good things: (1) Have the light source eminate from the same direction on all your elements (duh!). (2) Just because you let the painting sit overnight does not mean it is dry. (can you guess what happened there?). Allin all I enjoyed it very much. I am going to try again with simpler subject matter. When I get one that I would not be completely embarassed to show, I will post it. Like I said earlier..it may take two or three more canvases though! Thanks for reading and I hope to see you "In the Studio".

Yep... two more and you'll be set! Need at least 20 though for your solo exhibit which is sure to come soon. Keep on paintin' Dean!
