Elizabeth Robbins 4th "E" lesson. Flow Blue & Roses

I worked more on this and I am calling this done--this little painting was harder than I thought--. Someone said you struggle before a leap in your painting ability--I hope so,. It could be that or I just need to paint more! lol  happy painting!

2nd pass on the 4th lesson

I worked again on this today. This simple little painting is hard for me--the pot is getting there, not done --and I am starting to like the middle rose better for the moment. I was going to keep painting but started feeling a little sick--taking a break till I feel better

Liz Robbins 4th class-- Flow blue & roses (first block-in)

                                                                                                   At this point (1st) block-in --I am always discouraged--I feel I can't paint--blah-blah...I hope I will have heart to try again but you never know. sigh....(I need to pray for help for sure) Happy painting, everyone :-)

Rose painting continued--3rd Liz Robbins on line class

I worked all day on this and redid everything. I oiled the dry painting like she shows us, but my stuff I used was old and had chunks in it . I scraped the chunks off and went ahead and brushed it on my painting.....It left a lot of lint-line stuff all over the painting. I wiped it off right away but it still had like dust particles all over it.  I tried to get  it off but didn't get all of it---sigh....anyway I used another oil--it didn't seem to let the paint flow--everything felt tacky. I just pushed myself to deal with it and repainted the whole painting. I feel it is not the worst painting I have ever done but certainly not the best.  This was very hard for me --the paint did not move for me as usual but this is the best I can do at this time. I do think it is better than my first try-I think I will post -oh well, Happy Painting!
