Tomorrow is the day! Picking on my Apple Day.
Apples viewing. We are having our class critique of our apples, a practice in glazing. I was able to squeeze in seven layers in glazing in the time allotted for this project ( 6 hours, at least, drying time between layers) . I was the happiest, when the last layer I was able to apply (on Tuesday) - the background actually looked black. I layered reds over greens to achieve the "black" of the background- we weren't allowed to put black paint down. The emphasis was to be the apples, and I focused intensely on the three apples, but it was seeing the "black" finally shining through - what great pleasure that little moment brought me. I will be posting the different documented layers soon - maybe tomorrow. As for the critique, it might be another margarita night, to ease the salted wounds! I'll keep you posted.
