I'm taking Susan Sarback's Advanced Techniques Workshop. The participants had been asked to come to class with ideas of what we want to learn. I had decided I need to learn finishing techniques & if there was time, I would like to learn brush techniques. It seems many of the class participants wanted to learn brush techniques. Susan began our workshop with a demo of starting a painting using the knife - but beginning with Step 2 & skipping Step 1. Then she did a demo of starting a painting using a brush, which also begins at Step 2.
The 2nd image is with the brush, but carried a little beyond Step 2.
I was so excited after watching Susan work with the brush that I decided I would begin my class project learning brush technique & could learn finishing techniques at the same time. So at lunchtime I rushed home to pick up my brushes & solvent. This is the result of my Day 1 efforts.
It's not perfect, buy not bad for a first effort & I had a lot of fun doing it. Still could use some refinement, but Susan said to move on. So I won't revisit this on Day 2.
