I have started using a piece of wax paper over damp paper towel to keep my paints wet. seems to let a fair amount of wet through without absorbing the paint, easy to carry a strip of each in my kit, lasts a while if you have to cover the palette and pause for a while.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10499878877491095823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-52477875905716178122016-08-08T11:48:03.675-04:002016-08-08T11:48:03.675-04:00Sight size is the way to go, and with that grid sy...Sight size is the way to go, and with that grid system, you can't go wrong. You can accomplish the same using a measure and compare method. I use a simple school ruler held at arm's length. There are you tube videos of A. L. Garcia using this method with very interesting tools. He works very large. R. A.

This means using bigger brushes more often. I also think it is quite important to make fast or continuous brush strokes when required for it not to leave an edge. Have fun painting, we'll eventually get the hang of it hahah. :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16811632141683621839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-90412858861303165942016-08-07T21:42:25.204-04:002016-08-07T21:42:25.204-04:00Glenn, I'm liking the palette moistener idea y...Glenn, I'm liking the palette moistener idea you suggested a while back. I found a square steel box with a lid, which should hold paint wet in a kind of humidor. <br /><br />Jim, Good eye. You can see the background action in all the shots which were done on location right up to the very end of the vid. After I got home, I touched up some of the right side of the picture, signed it, and put the writing on it. <br /><br />Fabio, When you switch to the brush, you have to take the risk of covering up your drawing. You can always find it again.James Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870848001990898499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-31645489396122663202016-08-07T20:04:51.297-04:002016-08-07T20:04:51.297-04:00Jim, judging by the lighting change in some of the...Jim, judging by the lighting change in some of the close-ups, did you complete this painting in the studio?

I can get an approximation with pencils, even with a grid, but once I move to brushes I just mess things up (edges, where not overall shapes).<br />Any tips on it? I guess it also depends on choosing decent brushes that do not release too much / not enough water?Fabiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17178447427477151830noreply@blogger.com
