cmsa; Painting Tip of the Day; If you've been noticing these "tips" over the last several days, you may see, that when taken together, they suggest a process;
START; thin, semitransparent paint, darker values, cool colors, shadowy part of the setup.
WORK UP TO; Thick, opaque paint, lighter values, warmer colors, "lit" part of the setup. "portrait of neely" Sonia Rodriguez....

cmsa; Tip of the Day; "Fat over Lean"- you may have already heard this one. It means that; when working wet into wet , unless the paint on top is thicker, more"oily" than the wet paint underneath IT WILL NOT STICK. Instead of depositing additional paint, you end up pulling up some of the wet paint underneath. Therefore, when direct or ala prima paintng, start with thin, semi transparent paint, work up to thick and opaque. "an angel passes" 2004, c valle oil on linen

cmsa; counter intuitive painting tip of the day; apply thin paint with a strong scrubbing application that forcibly spreads the paint thin enough so you can see through it. Use a stiff bristled brush and a heavy hand....For thicker, more opaque paint; use a soft bristled brush like a little shovel to scoop up a generous amount of paint; drop it in to the paintng with the lightest touch possible, like a butterfly!! Do not lick!!!!(something saturday painters are often guilty of...once the paint drops in, don't keep stroking, leave it alone, recharge brush, and move on.)"the parties over" c valle, oil on linen

cmsa ; painting tip of the day; when paintng the physical world, start your painting at the top with the BIGGEST THING THAT IS FURTHEST AWAY (like sky in a landscape)...Work your way down and forward til you end up in the lowest and most foreward part (foreground)...This way the "overlap" works right...ps. to get the cloud overlap; work from the horizon line up

cmsa; painting tip of the day; "thin paint tends to recede, thick paint to advance. Shadows tend to recede, lit areas to pop out, advance. Therefore paint shadows thin , lit areas thick/opaque
