growing up my brother and i would look at the clouds and see what we could find …… a bird, a rabbit, a clown ????
what i do now is take a large brush and tone several canvases and see what i can find. then with as few brush strokes as possible….. 3 to 5 brushstrokes with a medium size brush clarify what i found.
