A Demo Re-do..What was I thinking?

I have a part of me that just can't rest until I have solved a niggling art puzzle in my mind. The jigsaw pieces of learning.

Somewhat unhappy with yesterday's demo in my teaching class, see previous blog post, I allowed myself some time today to do a study from that class demo to figure out for myself what I would have liked to have seen come off my brush.

This is what I was thinking:

*too slap-dash looking

*not sensitive enough

*NOT THE SHIMMER EFFECT I WANTED ON THAT LOVELY SKIN

*you can do so much better

*don't let sleeping dogs (demos) lie. learn from them.

So this is what I am now thinking:

* I am glad I worked on my art puzzle.

* it is rewarding.

*it is part of the journey

*paint by numbers much easier - and possibly in my future
