Connie, I switch back and forth constantly. But I don't bring my caseins everywhere, just because my carry-all pack is a belt pouch, and that only fits the basics.
Yes, Yvonne, I suppose you could take that quote in a lot of different ways. I first thought of a technical application, that you have to paint around the lights with the darks before you can really see what the light shapes look like. I'm sure there are more profound meanings.
Rich, this sketch was worked over a failed portrait, which is where all the warm colors are leaking in from. I like to rub out bad sketches because they give a nice base for trying again.
One time my brother got a fortune cookie, and the message said, "You love to eat Chinese food." Not related to painting, but the wisdom was impeccable.
Very nice painting! Taking a break from casein?
ReplyDeleteSage advise along with a nice little painting!

Not to overdo metaphors, but "rub out bad sketches because they give a nice base for trying again" can be taken figuratively as well as literally.
