I look to see where I am for a day and then go back another day to finish. If I complete either an oil or a pastel in one session it is rare. I usually go back for some reason or another.Donna Van Tuylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15341612740396001971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7537774717171903242.post-68677376461979947242012-08-23T07:15:24.034-07:002012-08-23T07:15:24.034-07:00Hi Adriana.

So pleased to have you look.<br /><br />I experienced a big breakthrough the other day...I was painting in oil, but thinking in pastel. It was amazing to be able to think in terms of what the painting needs and not the struggle of paint and brush. So my answer is that I hope to transitions from oil to pastel and back again, and allow my thoughts to solve the problems with pigment, value, etc. Mastering mixing paint and using a brush is more natural now and so I can think about the important stuff.<br /><br />I have been doing watercolor or oil to block in color for pastel paintings. So the blocking in is the same. Then working thin to thick and dark to light.Donna Van Tuylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15341612740396001971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7537774717171903242.post-83845630868193853762012-08-23T07:03:11.019-07:002012-08-23T07:03:11.019-07:00Hi Donna, from reading previous posts I assume the...Hi Donna, from reading previous posts I assume these are oils. Do you find it easier to finish a painting in one session with oils? <br />Also, do you basically follow the same process with oils as you do with pastels (block in, etc.)?<br /><br />I like your idea of framing a painting for critique. I'll do that from now on as I can see how it could make one take that step more seriously.Adriana Meisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03912385705440810912noreply@blogger.com
