Painters Tip
Studies
I have been ill with this blasted stuff that is going around all this week and so I have focused most of my painting time on small studies which take limited time to complete. They also have simple compositions which I believe can be very effective.
Whether you feel fine or not, studies are very important for growing in skill. Devoting some of your painting and drawing time to studying a subject or composition will make you a better painter when it counts, on larger serious paintings.
Get into the habit of starting your daily painting session with a quick painting or drawing on something you are interested in developing. Perhaps a new series of works.
Consider the quick paintings as warm ups or prototypes.
Thinking of them as studies will free you up and take the pressure off of making a good painting. Without that pressure, they will often be great!!!

this one brought a smile to my face...and its always interesting when a painter's use of their craft can have that effect on others.
Nice one...Linda!
Larry,
I did this one when I was as sick as a dog, burning up with fever. I guess that explains the color choice. I'm so glad you like it.
Love,
Linda
I hope you are feeling better! I love that pink grass, we have some down here and it glows when the sun shines through it. You did a wonderful job with it.
Thanks so much Lori. I was able to be up most of the day today and was able to paint for a little while, so I guess I am getting a bit better.
I love all the marshes in Florida. There are endless varieties of grasses and colors. I need to get down your way to paint.
Love,
Linda
