I'm back from Texas! So you know, I posted a few photos from the trip on Instagram (and continue to post art and other stuff there). My moniker is "carolmarine" in case you're interested in following me.
The house above is from a wandering in Eugene. I was really compelled by the variety of yellows and the shadows on the stairs.
A friend of mine sent me a link to this very cool PDF with advice from one of my favorite all-time painters - John Singer Sargent. Thought you guys might like it too. Anyone else use a plumb line when they're drawing the figure?

There's also a really interesting book called "Strapless" by Deborah Davis, about Sargent painting Madame X. Quick read, but it gives an great insight into his process of doing a commissioned portrait.
If I could live inside a lemon meringue pie (and I would), it would look this scrumptious.
Thanks for posting the Sargent PDF. Excellent!
Thanks you guys! Yes, I read "Strapless" years ago - great book! : )
sublime!!!
Thank you so much for sharing your journey and efforts to always expand. You are an amazing inspiration/teacher and beautiful, beautiful painter!
Love the little world of yellow, blue, green and peach and pattern happening on the steps! Cool...
