You know those little V-shaped thingies on the rear side of mitres on picture frames? They are called V-nails, and hold the mitre tight. You can by a pneumatic nailer for a good chunk of money - or one of these hand driven ones for $20:

This is my first adventure with an airbrush. It has a 0.2mm nozzle and a method of adjusting the flow.

Use more grey (gray)

8/10/2016

Here's a tip. Grey is neutral. Except when it's not. Ok. I admit, most grey is tinted and if you are lucky, you can find a neutral grey which is something between black and white and no particular colour.
If you find that colourless-grey, then use it. It will make adjacent colours pop out of the painting.

Pleine air and imagination

11/5/2014

Painting outdoors is challenging. The light changes rapidly, equipment can blow over. You need to be organised to easily set up and clean up and pack up in the event of sudden bad weather. This means you are forced to work quickly. Therein lies a hidden advantage--to work fast is often difficult to achieve in the studio and fast work often exhibits a fascinating and attractive loose arty quality.

So here is a compromise. In this work, I spent a limited time working in the field, then finished it in the studio entirely from imagination. The loose nature of the work was carried forward into the studio, probably this is an after effect of working first at speed on the same painting.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the result.
