Although I was aware of edges, your fantastic explanation of handling them really drove it home.<br />I had become stuck in my work and I really needed a more in depth instruction on these two areas in order to overcome and create better art.

Now, there's a whole world I know nothing about. All of that CG stuff and science fiction illustration is huge and I have spent all of my time in the trad. painting world.<br />I see you went to Savannah. I was street painting down there with my friend t.m. Nicholas and we were banging out 30 by 40s on our Gloucester easels. We were slaying em.<br />The students of that art school walked by us all day long with their portfolios and didn't even bother to look at what we were doing.I found their lack of curiosity appalling.I bet you would have stopped and talked to us. Actually several students did.<br />.......StapeStapleton Kearnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00226409516935208164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-91380770251093177962009-04-21T13:18:00.000-04:002009-04-21T13:18:00.000-04:00Thanks again for the clear instruction.

What would you do to soften edges on simple still life setups, like a couple pieces of fruit that are mostly round? There is obviously no skeleton, or even overlapping forms to help me figure it out. On the latest one I did, I softened the bottom edge that melds into the cast shadow and left the top edge very sharp so that it looked more separate from the background. I thought I softened plenty, but after reading your post, I am guessing not.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17579185594957855023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-32339705837300820582009-04-21T12:54:00.000-04:002009-04-21T12:54:00.000-04:00That's a very interesting thought to soften all th...That's a very interesting thought to soften all the edges and then selectively harden a few...

I will revisit! I belive I saw an awsome painting of yours at the Rockpost Art Association last fall. I do love your work of course! Would love to take your workshop but cant do August.
