Painting again, a little...

 

Bink to explore the fine points...

A Year and Counting (Almost)

I haven't painted in almost a year. I popped out a version of this compo just to see if I could still hold a brush. Truth is I have no interest in painting anymore.

I am on the Portrait of the Visual Arts in Canada today, thanks Win!

(Hot) Pressing Matters...

I have only painted on hot press a couple of times in my storied career (just checking to see if you were paying attention). So I picked up a sheet and decided to paint a full sheeter on the vertical just to see. I painted a drawing I had previously painted on rough paper.

I thought it would be a torture test...it actually didn't pose any challenges except the usual "watch the bead" for drips. I really enjoyed the smooth paper, it was so easy to paint on...

Here's the tip:
Don't prewet the paper or paint wet into wet, at least not excessively. I used a small brush, a no.12 synthetic with a good point and yes a number twelve is a relatively small brush and it doesn't hold much water. Next time I'll give it a shot with a #35...

Bink to blow...up.
