January 19, 2022 – How I Applied Dianne Mize’s Art Tip, The Visual Path, To My Work-In-Progress, Part 1
It began after reading then reblogging Dianne Mize’s most recent art tip, The Visual Path, plus some reading I’ve been doing in The Adjacent Possible, about listening to one’s creative needs and acting on them.

I’ve recently been “experimenting” with light molding paste, acrylics, watercolors, line art, figure art, and even masking fluid. Again. As I have over…

May 07, 2021 – Reblog/Review : Luminosity in Watercolor via Dianne Mize
As usual, what’s especially nice about Dianne Mize’s relatively short Quick Tip YouTube videos, is not only the amount of information she relays to us, but how she relays it, generously giving examples both on her palette and her painting paper of what she’s discussing – in this case, creating a sense of luminosity with…

“…not only does she explain drying times, how to lightly and evenly rewet to paint again each time (after a layer has dried), but takes the colors on the paper from their (near) opposites to the golden yellows in the photo beside her in-progress watercolor.”

“… there was a point, decades ago, I finally realized I had this tug-a-war going on within me : translate an image to paint (realistically faithful to the photo or plein air scene), or go abstract, usually way abstract 😊 ”

Painting Update – My Lost Edges and Masking Fluid Ideas 02.18.20
This weekend, I reblogged two really interesting articles on the aesthetic or idea of employing lost edges, where the boundaries of given recognizable objects meld into the color space around it (side plane, background, etc).

I’m Reading “ Notan: The Dark-Light Principle of Design” (Dover Art Instruction), Kindle – 1st Impression
“My only excuse is my intent was to experience (not thinking about Notan, or having heard that word much at all before) the contrast and relief (funny, the dual definitions of relief here 😊) between the white paint against the black canvas.”
