Re: noodling around
That's so very soulful, it's funny how his moment makes all the strokes, all the techniques irrelevant. I find myself just puzzling over what goes on with him.
I've just yesterday done a very quick, broad painting/sketch I posted in my gallery thread, where I forced myself to let go of any attempts towards precision and it immediately gained a lot of strength in my eyes. But you show such effortlessness, it's always a joy.
I hope you get more and more comfortable with Verve, not caring about it having fluids, you know, but just work the paint you can work it like in it. (I was going to say "the way only Verve allows it", but it sounds a little off...almost arrogant, yet, I have not ever had any other painter do the things the way it can.
Try Brush #8, too! Play with the Bristle Size and Count. It's kind of amazing, I promise!
Also, I'm about to hook up something new that should be pretty cool. I just have to manage my time right now a bit wiser. However, it's exciting and has everything to do with color!
WELCOME BACK, Greg, I'm just happier already!
