Now that Christmas is behind us I’m looking forward to what I can create in the new year. I like to try my hand at different things. While I primarily concentrate on southwest art and landscapes I want to learn different techniques and venture into portraits.
How do you begin a new year of painting? I’ve been watching the Master Class Portrait videos and have been amazed by watching other artists. The techniques were varied and so were the results. One guy actually dripped wax on his canvas and painted the wax.
I like to sketch, sometimes just roughly and others I add colored pencils so I can see before I paint what kind of image I am going to have. It gives me a chance to play with the colors or toy with different techniques.
In the new year, I want to explore all I can, try new things, and see where life leads me.
Have a joyous and profitable new year.
Keep Christ in all you do.
