| CAROL MARINE'S PAINTING A DAY 10/6/18 |
| FINAL WORKSHOP ANNOUNCEMENT:
May 14-23, 2019 - Florence Italy - REGISTER NOW (you will be asked to fill out and submit a short form - the first 12 submitted will receive requests for deposits - after that a wait list will be started). I look forward to painting with you!
Meanwhile, I've returned to experimenting with a palette knife. I was doing a large painting a couple of days ago and my favorite palette knife broke!! So I had to go to a actual art store for another one. Of course I ordered a bunch more on Dick Blick too. Who knew they broke?! At any rate, after finishing the large one I was on a roll so I tackled this one (above), which is a combination of brush and knife. I still have much to learn, I know, but the texture is so ... luscious!
I really enjoy simplifying these people scenes. It requires a lot of squinting, but also a fair amount of refining when it comes to the important features, like faces and hands...and legs and feet...well, just about anything having to do with something looking...human. It's harder than it looks - let me just say that. But I enjoy the challenge.
Yours in art, Carol
