Day 3 - Return to Halibut Point Quarry









So here we are for our second day of a 3-day painting at the Quarry. First order of business is setting up in the high wind. It took me a whole hour to get ready to paint, but then first we were to scrape down our canvas. Then He said, 'draw' 'draw' 'draw' for the first 2 hours. What do you think that means? Well, I drew and found it was very rewarding, I liked it a lot, it works great especially w/rocks--BUT--He didn't mean 'draw'. Go figure.

1. Use liquin for fast drying.
2. Use veridian for work by the water.
3. Use the 20-foot brush.
4. Put sky holes in then paint around them.
5. Put more design in trees near center/middle area.

Remember: It's not a race, but whoever finishes first.
Understatement: "Rocks are hard".
Jokes today: 1) Pianoman, 2) Helicoptor and 3) The Talking Dog. Friday I'll tell you these jokes.
Tomorrow's task, paint 3 9x12s in impressionist manner in 5 hours.
