8 x 8 Oil on Gessobord
An exercise in movement...Nothing too specific, just limited color and a large brush. I'm used to using relatively small brushes which tends to make my work more detailed than I would always like. On this one, I stood back and just placed color as I saw fit. Very little detail, but it all seemed to come together. I've been watching a lot of painting DVD's and would recommend that others who are basically self-taught do the same. It's not always easy or convenient to travel to take classes, and the DVD's are an excellent second best. They have certainly helped me and continue to help me define my personal style. I don't try to "copy" what I see, but use it to define my own sense of painting "reality." By the way, this is Rocky. One of my favorite people to paint :-)
