Paint Handling /Surface Quality

We will be talking about surface quality (or paint handling) 

this week in class. 

In preparation, I worked on this today

 to use as an example. 

Daylight Savings 

9 x 12 oil 

I took the demo I did 

"in the style of Henry Isaac"

and applied thick paint with a palette knife 

to most of the big shapes. 

Then I added shapes of similar values 

to break them up. 

Using plenty of paint with brushes and palette knife 

is always fun. 

You never know what will happen! 

NOTE: 

Cello and I are both SO happy to be back together,  

hunkering down in the studio.
