12 x 12 Oil on Gessobord
Messy..Yes; Creative...Yes; Easy...NO! Drinking out of my pottery mug takes on a whole new meaning now. I used to think pottery was easy. Just playing with soft clay. First of all, the clay is really hard and not very pliable until you kneed it, and second of all, the wheel is hard to get the hang of. Either my pot bottom is too thick or my finger goes through the bottom. When I finally get the clay up into a pot shape, it's so irregular that I have to keep trimming it. By the time I'm done, it has become a very shallow dog dish...not what I was going for. This is a painting of one of the members of my class who definitely has the hang of it all.
