When it works I am amazed, when it doesn't I try not to get too bummed.loriann signorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16738796573576452724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569842595006112796.post-2354551596959000302010-10-03T11:54:50.329-04:002010-10-03T11:54:50.329-04:00It IS working.

It just needs a little more push and pull here and there, but I feel you're very close.<br />I don't know about ugly ducklings, you've got to love them all. Sometimes when you're in between stages, the finished product doesn't look like you want it to, neither here nor there. But that's precisely because you're learning from it. That's actually a sign that you're not going back to a bag of tricks you already know how to use. I admire what you're doing, don't stop!Nikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16009913024508139402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569842595006112796.post-64413419879746318062010-10-02T15:24:25.725-04:002010-10-02T15:24:25.725-04:00Wow, thanks Caroline!

The softer application that glazing can make is completely different from alla prima application, which is the way I used to paint.( I really admire many alla prima painters, it's just I didn't like the way MY work looked.) You noticing that one thing makes me feel that maybe, just maybe one thing is working...a little.loriann signorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16738796573576452724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569842595006112796.post-81101250128578595342010-10-02T14:01:31.511-04:002010-10-02T14:01:31.511-04:00I love this nocture - I think your painting style ...I love this nocture - I think your painting style suits the subject really well. The delicacy and softness work much better than a heavier application of oil paint, for example, or indeed alla prima oil painting. Not that I don't like Marc's works, I've been following them closely and thoroughly enjoying them. I just really appreciate the marriage of style and subject here, and the mood and mystery it creates. Well done, no ugly ducklings here...Caroline Peña Brayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08518853222220324027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569842595006112796.post-20745614911473331172010-10-02T11:12:46.617-04:002010-10-02T11:12:46.617-04:00Hi Lynne, That's a great idea...

Someday i will come visit you:-)<br /><br />Hi Sam, We are in agreement about Marc's nocturnes. I am happy do hear that you enjoy the duckling. If we look at her enough will she be a swan?loriann signorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16738796573576452724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569842595006112796.post-61025990301983734842010-10-02T11:10:04.250-04:002010-10-02T11:10:04.250-04:00You are right on PB, It is warm...even though the ...You are right on PB, It is warm...even though the light is cool I could only make it cool to a point. I purposely allowed burnt sienna with its many cool glazes to show. I experimented with using only cool glazes on top of a warm underpainting. Success? No, but i am always learning and wondering.loriann signorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16738796573576452724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569842595006112796.post-30727757037603335392010-10-02T10:32:30.331-04:002010-10-02T10:32:30.331-04:00I agree that Marc Hanson's nocturnal adventure...I agree that Marc Hanson's nocturnal adventures have been remarkable.

I did a whole series (will probably do more) of paintings, using just burnt sienna to lay out the image on a slightly stained panel. Then I left it to dry and glazed with transparent brown oxide, wiped out the light areas, left it to dry, added ultramarine blue deep, with a touch of b. sienna and transparent b. oxide, for more darks.. left it to dry... and on and on and they had this wonderful sepia, old photograph quality... sold all of them... hmmmm? why don't I do more!!! Thanks again for the interview. Going to post it now.Lynne E.

The finished value study is right on and appears to be a value darker in the sky. I don't know B, it's probably perfect and I like it so I guess it doesn't matter if it's warm or cool.<br /><br />Well that was a garbled meanless paragraph.<br />pbDouble "D"https://www.blogger.com/profile/03650681131780105694noreply@blogger.com
