Day Twenty Nine 01/29/17 "Thirty Paintings in 30 Days"

One of the exercises we did at Gina Brown's workshop was to do a "practice painting" using 40 strokes.  I posted that painting yesterday.  This exercise helps you to be careful with your brushstrokes, to only lay down strokes that you are sure of, then leave them alone.  This helps you to paint with intention!!  There is no "noodling" the canvas when you are only allowed 40.

Today's painting is a larger version of yesterday's "practice painting."  I tried my best to be very economical with my brushstrokes and paint with intention.

Hope you like this one!

  1. Karen, thank you so much for documenting the Gina Brown workshop so well by taking all these great pictures and explaining what was going on in class. It was such a fantastic workshop. Gina is really gifted as an artist and teacher.
    Love your paintings, and hope to see you again soon.
