Been busy, no have not been neglecting my painting. As the cold weather made itself apparent I began retreating back to the studio and painting still life paintings as is my habit. I have tried something new and that is to listen to another painter regarding technique. I am taking advise from Mark Carder regarding studio set up and many technical aspects of painting. Mark's most impressive credential for me is that he painted a portrait of George Bush the 2nd recently. One of the strange things he advocates is to paint the studio walls black! This is to cut down on reflections cast onto a wet painting.... sounds reasonable and thus I have adopted the practice myself....
