I was pleased with this series although it's not my own photo so can't do anything with these but use them for teaching. But I'm hoping it gives the students a good foundation for the next painting - and the next :)RH Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497161758269292809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7104034804712021440.post-62442993864361478242013-02-02T04:52:08.189-05:002013-02-02T04:52:08.189-05:00Have loved these swan studies and completely agree...Have loved these swan studies and completely agree about sometimes going back to basics... I did a session on tips and techniques at my group the other week, started off with flat and variegated washes, used wax, salt, cling film etc, etc.....think they really enjoyed and it helps to reinforce their skills. Also it is so easy to assume they know how to do something when in fact they have never been shown so really good to go back sometimes.Judith Farnworth Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03466625674796659185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7104034804712021440.post-36707227488159247772013-02-02T00:38:32.688-05:002013-02-02T00:38:32.688-05:00Haven't been able to keep up with you Rhonda. ...Haven't been able to keep up with you Rhonda.
