If you want to have bright colors shining through in the end, the first step is to have an underpainting that's bright - like quinacridone magenta or quinacridone gold.

The second step is just simply to not paint over everything––but to allow there to be little cracks around what you've painted, where you can see little bits of that underpainting color peeking through.

Is it best to paint the same sizes as a rule?

I keep trying to appeal to all kinds of buyers with very small works and up to 11 by 14.

It is so hard to sell art in this area that I keep thinking if I have lower items, people will buy more.

Yet, it does not seem worth the time for that small stuff sometimes.

I had been invited by the gallery owner to meet a collector of mine, and as I stepped inside the room, my eyes slowly adjusted to the indoor lighting.

Kim caught me up on the different paintings she had purchased over the years, and we looked at her most recent acquisition.

"I am a skin specialist.

"I'd like you to come and see me soon."

So, a couple days after my 34th birthday in July of 2010, I returned to the Polyclinic for a deeper surgical operation.

Dr. Abson told me I was lucky, because what she had first thought was a mole had turned out to be a freckle gone bad.

I had just locked the storage room door and was walking out of my studio when a woman caught my attention.

The words might be different, but the underlying questions are the same: Do I have what it takes?

I’m writing this to encourage you, or as the word is defined, to “inspire [you] with courage.”

Whether you’ve been painting for two months or twenty years, there are always those days when you feel like you suck at it.

The morning was clear and bright, and I set up to paint a beautiful ivy-covered barn, dappled in sunlight.

I was miserable, and I was surrounded by students who were waiting to see something good happen.

Golden Open Acrylics are acrylic paints that stay wet longer than traditional acrylic paints.

The word "open" means you have a longer open time to mix the paints and blend them.

"Can you explain your reason for selecting Quinacridone Magenta or Quinacridone Red over Alizarin Crimson hue in your limited palette? The problem with alizarin crimson is that it's not good for aging, because the light fastness of it is really bad, so it will fade quickly. "Are there going to be more Paint-Alongs coming?" So, instead of just jumping right into the painting, I'll start by looking at the photograph; talking about the design, explaining why I'm making the choices I'm making––then we'll do the painting and we'll do a follow up at the end. "What type of varnish do you use on your paintings? For best results with paint-on varnish, sometimes I mix two together.

The times are about 45 seconds off ...)

00:08: Alright, friends, we are back going live with a question and answer time, so super excited to be here and wanted to say good morning, and it's a pretty grey day.

So, a really good question Dale, because we really want to be considerate and thoughtful.

07:48: But acrylics generally will dry darker than when you put them on, which is something that you really have to get used to if you're starting out because, and even, it doesn't matter how long you've been painting if you're trying to match a color in acrylics, you need to think about where the color is going to end up.

So I would keep doing that, but it's gonna be an adjustment for you because you're gonna have to get used to the color shifting at all compared to a pastel.

Laura asked a similar question last week but I didn't get around to answering it so I will do that now.

That's the easiest and most straightforward answer.

Just keep the big brush in your hand and honestly, force yourself not to use smaller brushes.

Maybe at the very end take out a small brush and give yourself a limited number of brush strokes with it.

That is one of my practices.

One of our Acrylic University members asked me recently if I could share some photos of my early work.

The arts ministry was called "Art in the City, Art in the Sanctuary" and we invited artists from the community to show their work, based on a theme.

These events gave me a great opportunity to paint and show my own work in addition to being on the team.

And clearly I was in an experimental phase during these years as these next paintings also show.

It was an assignment I will never forget, and I found it immensely helpful.

This is what we would see when driving to the retreat every summer.

super excited to be here.

It is windy, kinda stormy.

Sickness is going around in the area.

Our daughter's teacher has been sick the last couple of days.

And then last night, our daughter started to feel like she was getting a little bit sick.

But she was probably just really tired because she's been staying up late.
