February 7, 2007


Today I completed one of the projects at my art course. It was to teach me a technique called 'floating' which really means putting paint on in graduated degrees per brush stroke. On the leaves and the apple the shading is done by 'floating' in burnt umber.

The outer edge is spackle and then incised. It is not something I would really use as part of my techniques but it is interesting for this project and quite easy to do. And besides, anything you learn about art is sure to have some use somewhere along the way.
