Blue Bowl with Eggs Corrugated Cardboard
I am really getting to love this format ... like the freedom especially to my head...I know.. its all psychological but it works... I can always go back and add a little more contrast.

Corrugated Cardboard Studies
Brought to class some corrugated cardboard that I thought I would gesso and use for some quick studies. Heleni suggested that I work directly with using gesso. I felt much more at ease with these, probably because I thought of them just as studies and don't HAVE TO PERFECT.... which probably one of the reasons that they came out fresher.... this is an important attitude to develop in any painting...
I did have Heleni to stop me from overworking.... I am going to look more closely to the work of Diane Mannion I get blog updates and she usually shows her progression images...

A bit about the second study....The reference for this is the from my favorite spa Hamei Yoav.... a view that I really love.... although Heleni calls these finished works.. I still call them studies...

A bit of ranting: Blogger is up to tricks, at least on Chrome.... one would think that they would work together because they both are under the Google umbrella... but first grayed pages... then notices that I need to re log, and today NADA... with a code to address to the help forum.... HAHA...with Firefox things are working
This is a close up of previous study . I am really not happy with this..much too fragmented.... in the first one which really is simplified, more of an under painting, is much better... can't seem to get from the fresh under painting to a more finished without messing the whole thing up.... I am going to give this another try....
