and other things.... This is my daily art blog. I'm artist Dee Sanchez and I live and work in Alameda, New Mexico - the land of blue skies, red hills, and three unique cultures. What a beautiful place to paint! Join me on my daily painting quest, my plein air adventures, my video logs, my "getting ready for a show" preparations, my painting tips, and I may even throw in an opinion or two...I also document my struggles with getting healthy and my crazy family life

Yes...crybaby...LOL
ReplyDeleteI actually love the thickness and texture of the upclose look at the painting...but am still amazed at how the picture comes out as I walk away...Is this considered impressionist painting? I am not an art major...actually not a art anything...thought I know when I like something. Very nice...and colors are nice also...
Don't be so critical of your efforts. Sometime messy is fun...it'll get easier when you pratise more...that's what they said about piano playing...I can barely play the chopsticks song...LOL

ReplyDeleteme again north of Kansas City, still
Dee - try water miscible oils. Windsor and Newton makes a really fine one. The texture, colors, drying, etc., are exactly like regular oils, it's just that they clean up with soap and water. They are perfect for plein air. Use a knife instead of brushes, and you're in plein air heaven!
