I like this process the best and when I am careful enough NOT to cover all the transparent underneath colors, the painting sings. Then just yesterday I listened to a radio show interview with Bill Davidson, an extremely successful painter. He does it all different. So I have settled on this approach and use it most of the time, even en plein air. I learned this technique from dreamatolleperry.com.CAROL HOPPER -- A PAINTER'S JOURNALhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11201355529127200387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2947114553206980980.post-50357574535041797402014-11-09T22:39:25.508-07:002014-11-09T22:39:25.508-07:00Very interesting to see the series of photos showi...Very interesting to see the series of photos showing how you developed the painting.

A very pleasing final result, as well...Dr Sock https://www.blogger.com/profile/13378594360241846301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2947114553206980980.post-43556132987913526422014-10-28T05:21:01.686-06:002014-10-28T05:21:01.686-06:00I have been retired from teaching for an eon alrea...I have been retired from teaching for an eon already so when you think of that, my years of painting have really been adding up...sixteen already!
