After a day full of the gym, painting class, hours of yard work, and relaxing on the balcony with a hard lemonade - I come to my easel late! Choosing a seascape with some of my photo reference, I am painting small with brush and palette knife. I begin by negatively painting the sky, then I drop in the cloud colors. Gently mingling between the two with a soft sable brush, I then go in with the palette knife for some thick, juicy paint. I treat the water in a similar fashion by painting in first with the brush, and then laying thick color on with the edge of my knife, creating a little wave action with the stroke. This is painting number 805 in 805 days :)
