Brush Mileage!!!

[Louise Treacy]

 This time of year its hard to try to stick the cold and wind. However I have been doing my best to get out and paint as I need " Brush Mileage" I am like the michelin man with all the layers on in an effort to keep the Baltic wind out of my bones.

One thing though, the cold makes me paint quicker and stay away from detail, as I know 1hour and 15-30 minutes will be the max I can stick the cold, before I have to head in and get rid of the numb fingers!!!

YES I do have fingerless gloves and all the thermal stuff you could possibly wear!!! 

I have been enjoying the challenge each day and am putting the mileage on the brushes and knives, so I am a happy camper whatever the results as each piece is a learning tool and hopefully will help me improve my eye for composition and ability to put colour down.

That has a lovely feel to it.  Keep up the good work - and God willing, I'll join you for a paint out sometime soon.
