Getting the Colours Right

When I start painting I try to get the paints set up in the right hues on my palette.

This doesn't always go according to plan, in fact, it seldom does.

The colours got too dark and I couldn't see what was going on in the shadows.

By letting it dry and starting with a clean palette, I was able to put on those highlights and clean it up.

I stepped away at this point

(actually, I believe my son told me it was time to play a game app with him)

and let it dry again.

The final highlights will come next.

I managed to take photos the other day before I sent off a 6" by 6" panel. I thought that a few might be interested in how I try to make sure that you're artwork gets to you unscathed. Before I do any wrapping, I make sure that all the information is on the back of your purchased art piece. Title, medium, size, Artists name (because my signature is impossible to decipher). Also I print an inventory number which will look something like 026.2018. 1. I wrap all boards/canvases in wax paper. There will be no smudging on my watch. 2. Bubblewrap comes next as I do not want corners dinged. 3. Tissue paper is the third wrap. This is a gift for you or someone you love and I want you to feel like it's a present when you open it. 4. Inside your envelope you will find: A Thank You card - because it's important for you to know that you are appreciated. Two business cards for you to share with others Your invoice and receipt One
