Oops! I hit the "enter" key and published before I was ready. Well, I'm almost ready.
I'm working on three things this week: shadow strength, stroke direction and quality, and brush work. All stuff I should know, but need to be strongly reminded of. I'll give you all the details as the weeks progress. But suffice it to say, I'm putting tape around all my brushes to remind me not to let my hand slip below the tape. Seems a good idea. I generally hold my brushes at the ends but forget a lot during the initial layin. David says it's important to start finishing a painting from the first stroke. Now that's something to think about.
More later. I need a shower and some sleep.

About Me
- Susan Martin Spar
- Born and raised in New York, I spent many an afternoon at the Metropolitan Museum of art gazing at works by Dutch and Renaissance painters - an experience that influences my work to this day. I attended FIT in New York and worked for 20 years in the graphic arts industry. I currently live in Port Angeles, WA. In 1998 I started to pursue a career in fine arts. I have participated in numerous juried competitions and sold my work in diverse venues from art festivals to galleries. My work resides in hundreds of private collections and is presently in three permanent public collections that include The Corona Heritage Park Museum in Corona, CA, the Millard Sheets Gallery in Pomona, CA, and the Painted Ponies Project of Temecula, CA. The Internet for me is the final frontier and an ever expanding one.
