Standing hand


I'm back to drawing while standing up, using a brush only. In this case, I just held my left hand out and quickly put the shape down with my right.

It's overworked where I put in shading while everything was still wet, (and my broken little finger IS that bent) but I'm getting better control of the paint and brush in this unsupported stance.

Arches 140# paper and paint, and a huge #20 brush. Simple . . . is difficult!

I've not been posting my larger abstract paintings. They don't fit on the scanner.
