I am a *realist* painter as well and though it would seem I am trying to do the same thing it could not be more different. It is amazing to me how your group develops just a small area from a under drawing - it is as though you know exactly how the finished painting will be when you start it - I start with a haze and try to keep the whole surface in equal finish as I go along and sometimes i dont even make it to the edge. I am telling you this because - although it is not a *sure * thing - No surprise for the artist - no surprise for the viewer.
That was an amazing demo. I haven't had the guts to try window shading. I generally work from the general to the specific, but after watching that I may have to try!
Happy year! Thank you for the blog, photographgies and the life of the GCA. Why you don't edit a book with methods to paint as the students to the GCA make?
