The sky is my favorite part, thank you.

I do and I don’t work section by section. This painting happened to have two main sections where the colors of each did not mix together so I did not throw down lots of colors all over the place like I would in a portrait or still life. I wanted the sky to remain pure blue and white. Otherwise I normally throw down all my colors and let them do what they do. Once that dries then I work around the painting, when a section gets too wet I move until it dries. I work very wet so I have to be careful with how much I work an area before it becomes a mess. I also work in layers. Take my self-portrait, I did not make the background that dark right away. I laid down one layer, getting as dark as I could, then while that dried I moved on to the face, when that was too wet, the hair, etc. Then either back to the face or the background, whichever, part needed more attention.

How do you work?

I love how you did the sky.

Do you paint going section by section?
