I seem to have finally put a few things together. My new Schminke paints (arguable whether much better than white knights, but they seem more vibrant - see another thread), nice heavy HP paper and importantly an easel (Jacksons, desk top Eden, knocked down from 65 quid to 20)...and the painting I am now working on is probably the best I have done. Have I found the magic ingredients or am I simply taking more care because I think I have the right stuff together? No idea...but it's working. The addition of an easel is a real boon (go on Syd, say it...told you so). David
I shall say it for him, “Told you so “. Just enjoy them .
things seemed to advance for me when I changed to better paint and paper, many of my students have experienced the same - woohoo!!
David I see you chose HP paper which is the choice of artists who like detail in their painting. I prefer NOT as I want to,paint in a loose style .i even use rough sometimes depending on the subject . And I still cant paint in a loose style. Happy painting ....Syd
