One learns a lot. Can't wait to see the loose florals. That is something I have tried without success.

There is a lot to remember when painting--lights, darks, paths, etc. I usually think of these things <i>after</i> I've finished a painting.hw (hallie) farberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11636182620056350811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572300932905140618.post-57011182774814639442010-08-03T20:39:43.337-07:002010-08-03T20:39:43.337-07:00Thanks, everyone.

Unfortunately, I failed to get a picture of the final piece. He had color in the sky and water and left some of the buildings white.<br /><br />If you want to learn more about another interesting workshop, check out Myrna Wacknov's blog.

I liked Henry Fukuhara's work. It's interesting to leave so much white. I like the interplay of line and intuitive, organic shapes. AND I like your work. Great for workshop work!

Great job.
Thanks ...You are doing just fine, Mary. Great job.<br />Thanks for the comment on my art blog. In answer to your question, I start [occassionaly]with acrylic just to use as an underpainting and to cover the canvas. It dries fast and I can get right into my oil detail. I simply call the paintings Oils as the acrylic is completely covered.Gary Keimighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12745695573558394342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572300932905140618.post-11967685936325246392010-08-02T02:22:23.475-07:002010-08-02T02:22:23.475-07:00Mary, I think your piece is amazingly well done! ...Mary, I think your piece is amazingly well done!
