Try,Try Again

My second attempt, this time with a new tube of white and an experi- enced oil painter - Chris O'Handley. I found a view I liked, set up, picked up a brush and then... my mind went completely blank. I honestly did not have a clue as to how to start. After futzing around a little, I began to remember all of the things I put to use in a pastel painting. Things like values, light, contrast and color all came back to me. I have to admit the color mixing and using a brush confounded me, but at least the values are close-ish and it does resemble the little ski shack it is. Chris gave me great suggestions and encouragement. I may even try this again someday. $25.00
