Episode 2: Summary (May 01, 2023)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfS0zXN9BD0&t=3416s

What I covered:
I continued Pathways (Oil/cwm, 14x14in on Arches Oil Paper): 
Limited palette: Transparent Earth Yellow, Paynes Gray, Cad red Deep, black and white, 1:3 Galkyd:Gamsol both liquid and gel Galkyd.
I showed how I do 4 square painting to test out a palette – or sometimes I do a swatch
Brayers, handmade tools using neoprene on a pastry tool, 
Brown Paper’s paper to move paint around (monoprint)
Blending with fingers
Bamboo skewers
Transparency vs Opacity – come colors like Transparent Earth Yellow are transparent – but you can make any opaque color into a transparent by adding cwm
Conceal/Reveal
Thick and Thin
Markmaking at any time
Thin collage papers (rice paper, tracing paper, etc)

ACRYLIC: Started a 3’x6’ canvas on wall using fluorescent paints
(I won’t be working on this in Ep 3 – too hard to move cameras around so I will work on an acrylic on my table).

=====================================
Episode 3: Summary (May 08, 2023)
What I Covered: 
1-I showed you how I finished the cwm/oil painting started in Episode 1 and 2. (Play video)
(Check values, quadrants, convert to bxw, balance, navigation, etc
2- I talked about why this painting is personal to me, and how this painting makes me feel. 
3-I discussed what I think about and how I know when a painting is finished. 
4-I discussed how I sign a work on paper and how I will mount it onto a cradled panel now that it is finished (must wait for it to dry first)

Acrylic: I will show a painting in progress which I began with collage. I will be painting over the collage and I will talk about moving forward in the middle of a painting when it can seem hard.
I’m in explore, moving the painting forward: repetition with variation, watching values, thinking about what this painting is about (my love of circles, pattern vs solid color, movement, chaos vs order, old, worn surfaces, etc)
