My year-long journey of learning to oil paint. The quest: 300 paintings in 2019. It will require near-daily attention. Progress, lack of progress, fun, not fun, rewarding, not rewarding....stumbling blocks, moments to toss it all, but also moments of great joy! But the learning part....the intention is to record it here.

#33 Golden Delicious 2/13/19
I'm behind schedule.....picked up the quilt from the quilt-lady, she got it done in a week, and it's gorgeous! So I spent the last two days getting the binding made and sewn to the edges. Wrapping the binding to the back side of the quilt is a hand-sewing job, the quilt is queen sized so the perimeter is quite large! It will be a car-ride-project, perfect when you sit for long periods....makes the time go by quick. So, point, I am remiss in my daily painting. I did a quick technique today, selecting the trashiest brush in the collection. It's a very stiff bristle #4 round. It not only put down the paint, but took it off at the same time, weird. But I decided I keep going with it. At the end, I get out a thinner, softer brush to do the stem and the highlights....then dinked around in the middle of the apple. Overall, even though it's rough-looking, I like it. I would eat this apple.
