I just know I want to really know the figure before I get into the paint and the pencil makes you more aware of value changes than charcoal which is great for overall impression. Doing the two mediums together is good preparation for something I've never done before. So I might be overly apprehensive, but at this point, I probably should exercise caution.Linda Rothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02833417183469551153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153983949078742556.post-27738861494826911502012-06-30T09:41:47.228-04:002012-06-30T09:41:47.228-04:00Drawn studies make for better paintings.

You learn the forms and examine how the light hits them so that when you get to the canvas or the watercolor paper, you're more equipped to put the dashes and dabs of paint in with more accuracy.

At the moment, I'm content with getting acquainted. My hesitation might be fear, but fear is eliviated the more familiar we are with what scares us. So drawing for now. Then, I've decided to use a large canvas, 48" x 60," the one I started with Rain, which is really a photograph I don't really feel like reproducing; the photograph is good on it's own. That canvas needs to be gessoed and tinted. Any day now, is my plan. Once I hit the canvas with the paint, I'll be back to my care-free approach wiser of the pitfalls due to these studies. I'm sort of warming up for the game you might say.Linda Rothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02833417183469551153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153983949078742556.post-33687743700395477552012-06-29T14:57:41.728-04:002012-06-29T14:57:41.728-04:00You're an angel.
Thanks for the reassurance...You're an angel. <br /><br />Thanks for the reassurance. I do know I can draw--probably as well as you if I put my mind to it, but unfortunately, I lack the patience and fortitude to stick with it. Meanwhile you're making a living--and that's very attractive to me at this OMG retirement time. I like cash flow. I really do hate being out of work. Portraiture has a chance of being a job, but it might take too long to get up to par. And I do not like drawing people's pets.<br />The only reason we had a dog was my mom wouldn't let me and my middle kid was afraid of them. So I got the biggest canine breed that got along well with children: Labrador Retriever, crotch high and very sweet. Let a stranger come near us though, and he had a scary growl and the power to break through the living room window to get at the mailman. When he had to be put to sleep, we didn't replace him. My son was grown and we didn't want the responsibility. I miss him.Linda Rothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02833417183469551153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153983949078742556.post-58468604302461534612012-06-29T14:48:38.839-04:002012-06-29T14:48:38.839-04:00Very funny.

What interested me about him was the way he handled the pencil--roughly, more like doing pen work for reproduction, which is the business he was in. He designed and produced commemorative stamps of Americana. Blending was out because it doesn't reproduce as well as linear strokes. You know all about that. Calle's work was very good though. Highly detailed, just like yours.Linda Rothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02833417183469551153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153983949078742556.post-77619991387447274842012-06-29T14:39:27.584-04:002012-06-29T14:39:27.584-04:00Thank you Judy.
