I...Thanks for this post and all your posts lately. I'm learning so much. And this post in particular is the BIG reminder that I need to get my arse in the studio and work. i have a studio now so no excuses except that I don't feel good but painting always fills my soul and lifts my spirit and makes me forget my ails! And I know that it takes "miles of canvas" isn't that what you have always said? Well, I don't even have a mile in and I've been painting since 2002!<br /><br />I've been derailed too many times by illness and i just can't afford to be derailed anymore. I need to paint. And I know once in the groove I will get in the studio everyday even if for just a little study.<br /><br />I've been trying to learn oils and have gotten discouraged and am going back to pastels now. But, I want to try thin oil washes for underpaintings so nothing will be lost. And it's all good. Learning and experimenting are all part of the process and part of the fun!<br /><br />I'm not giving up on oils but I need some books(I have a couple) to explain some things to me. <br /><br />thank-You Karen for all of your inspiration. I have been following you for years. I found you when i was reading lots of blogs a day and you were one of the first pastel artists I found when I was starting pastels and I have learned so much from you and hope to take at least one if not many more workshops from you sometime in the future. I'm so glad you are teaching and spreading your knowledge and love of the medium to more people.<br /><br />Keep up the great work!<br /><br />Take care,<br />SaraSara Mathewsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17503224852098578312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14672405.post-66316202593815268702012-02-12T11:45:06.557-05:002012-02-12T11:45:06.557-05:00Hi Karen,
