weeks. I work between plein air and photos. I started with a thumb
nail. Then proceeded with a full size drawing, two color studies and
two paintings 30"x19". Is Harris Beach 1 or Harris Beach 2 better?
Perhaps, I should continue with another.<br />

I also wanted to limit my brushstrokes and ensure the forms were successfully described using directional brush work. All the pieces were painted with limited palette.They are all painted from the same photo except edited differently.<br />
If you struggle with plein air paintings, this is an excellent exercise. <br />

This method below is carefully layering color so that the under painting continues to show.<br />
You start with a large brush - size 8 flat - and as you layer the color you go to smaller brushes such as a 4 or 2 flat.<br />
The focal point has sharp edges and the color intensity is pushed - again -while keeping the under painting. At the end is when you focus the directional strokes to create form and with the right color and value.<br />

There was no black paint used to create this artwork.<br />
It is a wet-on-wet technique where the paints are layered to keep the initial under painting. The under painting starts with pure color perhaps some white to create the correct value. <br />

musician, J. P. Baily. After he finished modeling, he played and sang a
song he wrote. It was great. We all danced and laughed.<br />
My goal was to keep it simple and use color with confident brush
strokes. I didn't want to describe much. I am happy with this piece.<br />

away to wrap my brain around what had just happened. I painted a
successful bottle and then the instructor pushed a few changes. I had
no idea what to think. My masterly ellipse at the top of the bottle
was changed to simple color. My highlight was dabbed. The color was
pushed to a magenta on one side and into the background. I had to walk
away. <br />
I looked at other students' painting and then I returned. I
slowly began to understand what the instructor was doing. Then I added my own
expressionist marks. <br />
I am very happy with the progress. Homework
suggestion was to setup a still life and paint it over and over again
until the brush strokes are automatic. <br />

Painters, I set up this still life. Yesterday I added the background.
It was painted on 300# watercolor paper. Don't know what to do with all
of these painting, but, I enjoy the challenge of trying to do better.<br />

why not do a Christmas watercolor. My daughter, Jennifer always does a
watercolor painting for her holiday cards. I got out the candle holder
my Dad made for me many years ago and set up this still life. It was
painted on a quarter sheet. Hope you enjoy it and that it makes you
smile.<br />

This time I learned more about expressionist style using color and brush
work. It was recommended after I painted my first still life to paint it
again. This would reinforce what I learned. I got a lot out of this one
day event. <br />
