The Outside Shore
Demonstration - Clear Creek Bank
Final On Site Touches
Shortly after taking the photograph to show the previous stage, an artist I
had just met a couple of nights before happened by while walking her dog (this
is a popular park) and we chatted for twenty minutes or so. This was just as
well, because I find it helpful to take a break from painting at this point, and
then come back with fresh eyes to see what is bothering me.
 As you can see, I
realized the paint was too "chunky", and worked to smooth things out. I
like to see individual splotches of pure color, but I do not necessarily want
them to actually look like raw brushstrokes. Part of what I am doing is refining
the shapes of these splotches, then. After twenty more minutes of working on the
painting, it looked as you see it here, and I called it a day, anticipating that
I would find a few other things to take care of once I got home.
