I've been reading so many art books and watching videos on painting portraits..lol. I'm not wearing a sling anymore but unfortunately I can only raise my arm about 3 inches... Frustrating but with therapy I can only hope for a fast recovery. I look forward to painting again!!!! I will be praying for you Susan and hopefully you'll be able to paint soon as well!!!!hmuxohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05132343095188658107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219763774238571564.post-83858143613173665692017-04-20T09:54:49.835-07:002017-04-20T09:54:49.835-07:00What a wonderful experiment.

Ce n'est pas possible...Bonjour ma chère Susan,<br /><br />Ce n'est pas possible !!! J'avais manqué autant de publications !!! Il est vrai que je ne suis pas très présente en ce moment. J'apprends que ton dos te fait souffrir. J'ose espérer que très vite tu te sentiras mieux pour reprendre tes pinceaux et danser avec eux comme tes ballerines...<br />Cette dernière publication est aussi très intéressante. Je suis fascinée par la palette de ce peintre talentueux. Je suis d'accord aussi avec Julie en ce qui concerne les marques de peintures. Une petite différence entre elles peut créer des nuances tellement variables.<br /><br />Avec le petit retour en arrière que j'ai fait, j'ai admiré de belles oeuvres... Un véritable régal...<br /><br />Je t'embrasse affectueusement, prends bien soin de toi.<br />Gros bisous 🌸martinealisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04055152925986659065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219763774238571564.post-53483648673393171602017-03-28T17:56:23.192-07:002017-03-28T17:56:23.192-07:00You are so right about the differences in various ...You are so right about the differences in various manufacturer colors, Julie. I have developed a list over time of my favorites from each manufacturer. For the color chart, I used Winsor & Newton with the exception of the cad red which was Rembrandt. That is the color I struggled with as I think it is deeper than the cad red medium that I normally use. But the experience of doing this was priceless nonetheless! And again you are right - all extremely fascinating! Thanks for the hug - my back is ever so slowly improving but after this experience, I am taking it slow!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07899318999574055763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219763774238571564.post-32822008891158191512017-03-28T17:51:28.351-07:002017-03-28T17:51:28.351-07:00Oh, you are way ahead of me, John!

He really was a master - and not only in oil but watercolor also. Someday I hope to see his work in person - I have only seen reproductions at this point.<br />Still babying the back - but making progress! Thanks for your good wishes.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07899318999574055763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219763774238571564.post-78561825758892081102017-03-28T06:43:28.712-07:002017-03-28T06:43:28.712-07:00You are a true artist!!

When we used his palette in class - where everyone had different brands of paints for the same colors - I was intrigued by the differences each paint manufacturer made to the final charts. The ivory black and yellow ochre appear to have made the biggest difference. <br />Next- of all things, was the white. Permalba gave a different mixing result than, say, the LaFranc titanium. <br />All fascinating stuff!!<br />Make sure you are a completely recovered before returning to large paintings. I truly feel for you. Been there - done that!
