As for the step by step, I try and verbalise my thoughts as I do in a workshop aiming to take the mystery out of it. It isn't rocket science, it just needs practice and once you get a feel for the paint and water life becomes much easier.....the creativity can then creep to the surface when you aren't thinking about technique all the time and wondering what the heck the paint is going to do next!!Judith Farnworth Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03466625674796659185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2350562909222800870.post-82570789994910631902014-09-07T02:52:00.954-07:002014-09-07T02:52:00.954-07:00He is Lorraine, such a loving little pup and full ...He is Lorraine, such a loving little pup and full of fun too, we have a lovely time with him, then give him back!!

I agree th...I teach how to paint backgrounds Jan... I agree they can be scary but not once you know how to do them and it always helps to have the colours echoed around the painting as you mentioned. I often let the subject bleed into the bg so that subject and background become one,though not in this case apart from the loose bit towards the bottom.

Your step by step is very interesting - it's like listening to your arty brain ticking over. Your painting of him is lively and alive, if you know what I mean. Not just a picture.
