I regretted using charcoal as a block in material as soon as I started to paint. I forgot how much of it stays on the canvas! I won't do that again... Then the blue jug...
I used linseed oil as a medium because I want the paint to stay pretty wet. There are a lot of things to change, but I am out of time today and there is too much paint to continue working. It'll turn to mud if I continue today. I hope to finish it on Wednesday morning.




Wow! The start is fantastic. When will you be giving workshops?
ReplyDeleteThanks Amber. You are too kind! I would love your critique at our next painting group gathering.
ReplyDeleteJulie, great start; love the straight lines in your drawing... authoritative!
ReplyDeleteHi Julie,
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I saw your beautiful work at the Pembroke Library. I liked it so much that I went searching for you online and found this blog. I am even more amazed to discover that you have only been painting since '06. You are so gifted... I think I am in your class on Fridays with Jodi (I just started)...talk to you soon, I'll be following your blog for sure!
Thank you for sharing your art this way.
