Last day of the workshop -- want to make it a good one! We painted on the property of a weaver's store. This morning was tough. I started with a porch scene -- I liked the shapes but the colors seemed so muted. I abandoned the piece and had lunch.
I moved out to the garden area and was inspired by a scene -- Gordon had commented yesterday how little paint I use. What? I always use a lot of paint. What was going on? I had gessoed my canvases -- perhaps that was the difference. I decided to pack up my brush and do a piece just with my palette knife.
This piece is my first attempt with just a knife. It was so freeing! I don't expect anyone to be impressed by it. But I'm definitely going to explore this path. I've included a detail.
