Small waves


Its an wonderfull day today. Lovely breeze kept the insects away and i could focus on throwing the paint on canvas. Only problem was that i forgot my brushes and i had to resort the only one i could found from the bottom of the bag. I keep it there if something like this happens. The brush itself is an super-basic-pighair-medium-sized-whatever-brush. :)

That's darn impressive, only one brush! And perhaps a useful exercise in paring down your materials/equipment to maximise the potential of one thing instead of chopping and changing for an apparently, though not undoubtedly, better option?

Again, GREAT transparency and movement.

Ha! Thank you.
Yes, I do not think that blaming the materials is constructive. Like they say that Michel Angelo would have painted the sistine chappel with only a broom and a bucket of mud and it still would have been a masterpiece.

Once in a while I find it very refreshing to do a painting only with a palette knife. Specially the winter lanscapes. Getting too much into comfort zone can be a bit dull :)

Very resourceful. There is always something to forget.
