We can get so caught up in trying to do it "right", that we lose touch with the idea of interpretation of the subject.

I had the canvas and the outside bars already but didn't do it because it 'wasn't right'.<br />I did it anyway and no warping yet. Even if it does warp I could add braces later, right? I didn't paint for weeks because of fear. I agree that preconceived ideas just harbor fear or slow you down.Bradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04698921469217993862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4621225576781147800.post-5326438553761132732010-08-17T16:47:22.831-05:002010-08-17T16:47:22.831-05:00it's the purity of your strokes that make it w...it's the purity of your strokes that make it work for me. delightful to see what you do to faces.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4621225576781147800.post-51882060041316470882010-08-17T15:53:43.430-05:002010-08-17T15:53:43.430-05:00I'm learning such a lot from your blog - the s...I'm learning such a lot from your blog - the skin tones you use and way you apply the paint.

Yesterday I was doing a painting, a change of pace, and used pure cad red light that was a little drier and it added a real nice glowing skin tone.
