Pushing paint II

I’m with yesterday's paint and struggling with the bitty hardness in it, the bits that have dried and formed a skin that can be ignored on everything but a cheek - a blemish. But it drags and fights back, unnecessarily in my view.

Pick up the brushes and push some paint about. Then put them down, put them down, fear grips, let go the brushes. Walk away. Walk back. Pick them up again and make tentative marks.

STOP the tentative marks, tentative marks will never work. Take confidence in the years of looking and learning to see and doing and eventually knowing.

Do and go and scrape fresh paint from the tin. And get it on the panel. Go on.
