8x6, oil on linen board
During October I took an online course from the ever talented Dennis Perin. Dennis is so very talented at capturing the light in oil and is an excellent instructor (check it out at www.theperrinmethod.com).
One thing I really enjoy is to paint a piece in oil and then soft pastel or vice versa. Above is my oil piece and below you'll find my soft pastel piece. Do you have a favorite? I'm just not sure which one I like over the other. That's the funny thing about being the artist...it's tough to be objective. Also, we're typically super critical of our work. After three and a half years of painting, I'm getting better at quieting down that critical voice in my head and just letting things be. That said, I'm still very much in pursuit of my masterpiece. Will it ever materialize?
