Raising the bar

     Sunday, June 15/25
Online videos are useful when not able to attend live workshops elsewhere in the world.  I am using the Mastrius artist platform to watch David Langevin painting in layers of transparent paints. He is thinking way ahead to the final effects while still painting in the first layers. In transparents, that counts. So does years and years of practice until it is instinctive. So - more practice and more thinking intensely about the layers to get to the end.

Lots of painting practice is a good theory, but my life is still filled with garden and house fixes that are apparently more urgent, even if not more important. Not one minute of painting since I watched David's amazing painting video. Maybe I can block out some time on Sunday...
