I have some texture, yes, but my dark areas I keep thin and transparent where possible.<br />I do put out different colors according to what I am going to paint.<br />When I was painting the previous paintings of fruit, I put out three yellows so they were on the palette when I started this one. I always have a warm and a cool of each primary.

I actually closed my eyes when I made my first marks so I would not be in control. When I opened them I did not see flowers, I "saw" fall trees. My vision changed as I went along. Part of the pleasure of what you and I do, is the feel of the paint and miracle of color. With the handy shaper it is easy to remove anything you do not like. Remember to know no fear of it not being perfect - just enjoy the communication of the voice within and learning.<br />Something not so easy if you are trying to "look" at something and capture it.juliefordoliver.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07186754679744000743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4203287968430038256.post-13251499333236450912012-07-21T07:53:04.946-06:002012-07-21T07:53:04.946-06:00Interesting you think it takes a lot of talent, Ca...Interesting you think it takes a lot of talent, Carol.
