Now try spending a while - quite a while just shut away in your studio - alone. Listen to music, silence, think, read, dream, walk, draw, sketch and then hit the canvas quick, from the gut. Think less and worry NOT at all what others think. From the…

I've explored painting the Scots Pine image as we discussed previously. I'm challenged by the intricacy of shade, color and form. I seem to want to do loose work but this subject urges me to get down into the cracks and crevasses... pulling out ever…

I'm just the opposite. I tend to squeeze out little pearl sized globs of paint onto my palette thinking that I'll have enough... don't want to waste the stuff... this leads to continuous reloads. Consequently I have never run out of paint. Somewhere…

I'm Mentally Disturbed

First of all I'm new at painting. I'm an artist. Been one all my life. 40 year career as a designer, illustrator and art director. So here I am having a ball doing paintings. So I decide to hone my skills... I sign up for classes at a local Art School... "Painting Still Life with Acrylics". I've attended 3 classes. I'm overwhelmed by a sense of insecurity.

Hi Michael, that is one of my favourite photos, and i will be using it as inspiration for a painting myself. It would be interesting to see how you would interpret this in a painting, so please do use it, but do let me see the finished piece. It would be interesting to compare our two paintings on completion.
