I 'm taking a Robert Burridge workshop in February, (birthday treat for myself) so I am refreshing myself with his techniques. This will be my 3rd workshop with Bob.

| Today's Bouquet 7" x 5" acrylic on paper matted to 10" x 8" $45.00 |
Burridge starts his studio day with small warm-up paintings on paper. A sheet of water color paper is toned and then divided. While the paint was still wet I used the end of the paint brush to lay out basic shapes and composition. The paintings are all 7" x 5". By the way, did you know, that painting dimensions are correctly given as vertical size first and then the horizontal dimension?
The painting above was the lower right hand grid. As you can see the final composition is different than the first one. If you take a Burridge workshop you will hear him say, "Anybody who doesn't change their mind, doesn't have one."
Today's Bouquet is painting # 7 in Leslie Saeta's 30 day Painting Challenge
Bright and so FuN!
