Berkeley City College - Painting with Alan Scarritt. We're working on cardboard, about the paint,
keeping loose, bright, developing space in the paintings.

We're looking at paint, color, color interaction, the mark size and how it affects space perception, overlapping, leaving space, mixing values, keeping the colors bright and the brushmarks 'juicy'.

Three acrylic painting (crops) from Demo workshop Feb 7 using new paint brand: Chroma Atelier Interactive. It blends longer, can be reopened
with water in the first couple hours of drying time, or with a special Unlocking Medium in the first few days. Pretty nice feel on the brush, and
very flexible while blending on the palette and the work.
