6"x4" oil on masonite panel ••• I just got back from setting up for the Beverly Hills Art Show and I
think I left my brain there—I cannot think of anything to type. • Not wanting to disappoint, I looked up an invaluable quote for you from The Handbook for the Representational Artist, 133th Abridged Edition
as translated from its original Albanian. "If you wish to land a solid
punch whilst modeling a subject, whether it be a gourd or a human face,
may we suggest landing it at the transition from light to shadow (see inset Diagram A).
Now this may not be to your taste and if you are a direct painter, it
may seem a bit of a challenge, but it is a great place to throw that
knock out punch of zingy vibrant color." •
Okay, I do not understand the value of using pugilistic terminology
when talking about painting and I am not 100% sure as to what qualifies
as a "zingy vibrant color," or exactly what "oomph" is (see inset Diagram A), but there you go; solid advice from an extremely dubious source. • Don't forget, the Beverly Hills Art Show is this weekend (details below). If you are on this side of the planet, drop by and say hello.
