Back near mid-October I posted about beginning a couple of new projects and featured my initial layin image below-left.

The simple shift to the final image is a bit deceiving, as both the foreground and background had more of the intense coloring, some of which came off when I removed the masking fluid I’d applied. But, some neat dappled light patterning was then also created.

The main thing I had to protect was, as my wife put it – “don’t touch the figure, leave it!”

And I did, pencil lines and all 😊

The figure btw is watercolor with watercolor charcoal pencil lines, and the remainder of the painting is acrylic; all on Golden’s Light Molding Paste (link to the size I first bought to try out) applied to 16×20 canvas.

Below are samples of how the image can look framed and on 2 of the products also available at Fine Art America.

Don’t forget about their 30 day guarantee 😊 —

Framing of course is relatively expensive; below are 2 smaller priced items where Walking in Light also looks and works really well!

I chose to include the yoga mat option, partly because it just looks nice, and partly because the cropping lends & keeps a kind of inspirational touch which is also apparent in the full image ❤️

The watercolor/image + landscape/acrylic combo seems to work really well for me so far.

I’ve included an image below of one of my 1st in that watercolor/acrylic combo, also a 16×20, and also on canvas coated with Golden’s Light Molding Paste.

Linking to that product this time via a general “light molding paste” search on Amazon (very nice selection) – https://amzn.to/3D97Tun

There’s so much available nowadays to explore creatively, so I experiment, then pick & choose!

Enjoy the variety, even if just by knowing its there ❤️

  And so far, I’m very pleased with how it’s working. It’s saving me a bit of time, yet also keeping tweets going out promoting my more recent posts. I could probably do with slightly more frequently….
• November 29, 2021 – Fine Art America News : “Easy Morning” and “Walking in Light” Featured in Art Groups + Sold a “If Dads Were” Coffee CupNovember 29, 2021
  Both figures in the painting above and below are watercolors, though, Easy Morning is all watercolor on absorbent ground. Walking in Light’s paint, around the figure below, is acrylic; both the watercolor figure and remainder of my painting done on Golden’s Light Molding Paste. Golden has evidently been at improving acrylics a long time, as I learned in this post (with links to Golden’s article), and I can say that for me, working on their molding paste, in watercolor and acrylic, is a real treat!
• November 28, 2021 – My Most Viewed Image This Past Week @FineArtAmerica, Heart FragmentNovember 28, 2021
  If it was an amazing process to see older photos and artwork show up on my most viewed list last week (and it was 😊) then this batch is incredible! Work from so many years have shown up, and such a variety! It tells me, one can never quite tell what folks might be looking for day to day, week to week, and it’s nice for me to have the inventory assortment, “almost” a historical diary, of my work
• November 27, 2021 – LOL! I Don’t Like It, But I WANT It! : Preparing More Paintings and Applications for Places to Show and Sell!!November 27, 2021
  I squashed together what I could to show a “fair” sampling of my work recently finished or in-progress right now. There’s more, tucked here and there among these, lol! And on another wall! I choose to consider that a good problem 😊 Seeing these together like tis, If I had to choose one thing tying them all together – the impressionist skews, the abstracted slants, the washes, the thick tones, the high key and (nearly) BW work – I’d say it’s….
• November 26, 2021 – Working on Paintings; In-Progress : 2 New Lay-ins ( “Heart Fragment” and “Approach” ) Based on Details from Two Existing PaintingsNovember 26, 2021
  This has been something I’ve toyed with and talked about for a bit now — finding / picking a detail fragment of an existing painting (or photo etc) from which to base new work on. And I shoulda caught on to how well this might work for me, in terms of creativity and viewership, with my success with a related project where I painted an abstracted detail from an existing painting to create a new related one. That happened with Abstract Study 1 shown at the bottom of this post.

  Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I’m posting the same header as last year, Norman Rockwell’s “Freedom From Want” oil on canvas from 1943, smack in the middle of the 2nd World War.
• November 24, 2021 – Working on Paintings; In-Progress : Valentines 2022, In-Progress Since Early October, lol!November 24, 2021
  Not quite finished, but looking fairly good, especially considering back in early October I thought, “Yeah, I can finish this quick then save it for early next year.” Now, I’m thinking, really? Will I really finally get this finished by January next year, lol!

Thanks again, everyone! 😊
