Just back from art class. Looks like I'm going to jet in a different direction on this painting. Going to do a more tonal painting on top of what I have using raw umber and white then glaze later.
Really fun talking and having lunch with Mr. Campbell. For the longest time I've wanted somebody older to teach me - it's the apprenticeship/master thing. I'm on the edge of my seat when he's talking - like being in school! He talks about art, selling art, painting, different artists, different techniques, palettes, working with agents and even fly fishing. He doesn't ramble on; I think he really enjoys people. He's got that artist persona too, like there's something rumbling just beneath the surface.
I have been feeling a bit stretched lately. For instance, today, I only worked from 7:00am-10:00am then ran to class. Got home at 3:30pm. Researched a couple painters he mentioned. Was going to work some more... but the fizz just fizzled.
Well, that doesn't sound like much... I'm too tired to explain... but I just want to concentrate and really make some headway. As stupid as this sounds - I feel like a total slacker a lot of the time. I promise that I'm trying! I can't even nail down what it is I'm trying so much about!
Oh well. Mayfly, let's go to Golden's!
