I rarely have time to "browse" the web, but your email about the blog workshop caught my eye, and here i ended up again, checking out your blog. It's really interesting and very telling to see just how many comments you get on almost every entry! You've got quite a following! I want a blog like yours!! <BR/>I'd be at your workshop, but you know me; I have no weekend off til august now...! So i must be content with checking your blog and soaking up the inspiration.<BR/>BTW: Your gallery is charming!! saw it in early april and bought a little pigeon painting by Pamela.<BR/>later,<BR/>RitaRita Kirkman Daily Paintings and Art Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11172625565373258703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18183797.post-32935997173037486022008-04-23T22:37:00.000-05:002008-04-23T22:37:00.000-05:00Gracious!

With some changes, of course! Without the drumming in the background, for one thing!<BR/>Jo, I calmed that ear down a bit today. May calm it more tomorrow, we'll see.

What a treasure. And you look lovely, no surgery necessary.

Better than many of the videos that cost bucks! <BR/><BR/>I do not do portraits as you know. Even though the flash makes the ear so prominent, I would made it darker so that it would not be a focal eye catcher, but you know that. :)<BR/><BR/>It will be fun to see the finish. I will have to catch up next week.<BR/><BR/>See ya....Jo Castillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00411430042547033972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18183797.post-77274489446469350062008-04-23T09:11:00.000-05:002008-04-23T09:11:00.000-05:00Oh, Diana.

The woman who commissioned this painting just emailed me to say she loved the start of the painting and that I should try "aging with attitude." She's right, of course. Diana, I thinned some burnt umber with a little Gamsol odorless mineral spirits to do the sketch, and if I need to thin paint along the way, I use it for my 'medium', too. I'm occasionally trying out using linseed oil, but haven't yet on this painting. Will work more on it this morning....Susan Carlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06110529181768705593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18183797.post-19271221740977353192008-04-23T02:33:00.000-05:002008-04-23T02:33:00.000-05:00Hi Susan,I really enjoyed your video with my morni...Hi Susan,<BR/>I really enjoyed your video with my morning cup of coffee, don't worry that it's not perfect, got a lot of useful information. It's so helpful to see somebody else painting and see their methods, you make it look easy! Some other artists' videos I have watched, have scrunched up their painting into a few minutes with no commentary, not helpful. Do you mix the first layer of paint with any medium or is it neat paint?<BR/>I'm looking forward to the next installment! <BR/>Thanks for taking the time to make the video for all of us learners!<BR/>Hasta Manaña DianaDiana Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12193006545310900940noreply@blogger.com
