Pushing through the fear.
Do you feel the need to always be perfect?
What kind of artist do you want to be?
Do you want to have the control you want over your brushstrokes, and if you don’t it can depend on the brush and the amount of water it’s holding?
Are your paintings to weak and wimpy, and are you afraid of the darks? Try to relax and think of every painting as an experiment.
We will be looking at a few white flower paintings and talking about the brushstrokestrokes, background and where do you want to direct the viewers eye?
How to get the wobble out of the paper, try ironing it.
Framing options
When painting on a half sheet size painting 15"x22" the standard size frame I usually use is a standard 22"x28".
The standard mat never seems to work as well so I have mine custom.
You can go to your local craft store or framer for more information or custom frames, which can be pricy.
I was looking online for online frame options, and the standard frame size can work but again, I'm not sure if the online mat option is as good as custom cut.
I like Cheap Pete's but they don't ship the larger size frames
Here are some online companies you can try, but you may want to call them before ordering.
