Painting #372 - Still learning about opaques and transparencies ....
What better way to increase your painting skills than to paint daily! On July 11th I decided to paint 30 paintings in 30 days and I successfully completed the journey on August 9, 2010. I am an art educator and thus, chose to post "the good, the bad and the ugly" to provide insight into the learning process. This blog is a record of paintings that began on July 11, 2010.
