Oh Dog, no! They believe in &qu...Do dogs work hard? Oh Dog, no! They believe in "simple". It's OUR problem that nothing is. A simple dog motto is: "don't work harder; work smarter". They probably stole that, but it doesn't matter. To them, appropriating whatever is simpler and smarter is simpler and smarter. Period.<br /><br />I frequently do the following things wrong, so I knows em when I sees em: A) you're trying too hard, B) you're trying too hard, and C) that's right; you're trying too hard. Case in point: "I have tried to work from a pastel and create it stroke for stroke". Trying to make an oil painting out of a pastel sounds like silk purses and sows' ears. Maybe your oils should be allowed to be something entirely different. <br /><br />You know of two brilliant artists who had to paint left-handed. The dogs think you might want to try thinking in that out-of-the-catbox sort of way. They suggest that you should "be here now". They stole that, too, but as only a dog could say, "If the foo shits, wear it." <br /><br />Doug is right; you are the boss. Whistler isn't there painting for you (good thing; you couldn't afford him). Anyway, you have an arsenal loaded with all that amazing Loriann-brand of talent, plus everything she's crammed between her ears lately. In other words, you are loaded for bear. So take the dogs hunting and see what y'all find!SamArtDoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07322356829966791319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569842595006112796.post-1865594268175798112010-02-22T14:00:24.138-05:002010-02-22T14:00:24.138-05:00Ouch PB. Good questions..but still ouch.
Let'...Ouch PB. Good questions..but still ouch. <br />Let's see. In pastel I am confident I have the basic knowledge to work without needing to analyze how. In oil I am fumbling to find a way to create what I want. I (long ago) painted completely alla prima. This is not the way to make the feel I get in pastel, the depth and quality. I think it is a mix with glazing, transparencies and thicker, more stroke like painting, similar to what I do in pastel. The thing is I don't know how (yet) to manipulate that in oil. The learning curve is rough so I search out any and all help. I really don't feel that I am copying other artists but reading to learn, processing and then practicing, then owning my version.<br />You make a good point when you say I am the boss and maybe I do need to just turn everything else off. Maybe I will take your advice... soon. There a couple more things I need to learn than maybe I will hole up and process. <br />I have tried to work from a pastel and create it stroke for stroke,but I can't get the luminousity,too much paint.. lacking transparencies. <br />Thank you for your honest, thought probing answer. <br /><br />b<br /><br />PS how is your shoulder doing today? sleeping? that was an awful lot of pecking, either it's moving a little better or you did too much;-)loriann signorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16738796573576452724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569842595006112796.post-45140678337851239032010-02-22T12:30:19.400-05:002010-02-22T12:30:19.400-05:00hi b,
