Pat Dews: Let's Get Started Finishing

A clip from Pat Dews DVD, Let's Get Started Finishing

OK, so there we go. I like that better. You know I always have to stand back and look. I'm going to get a circle through here and a line coming through this. And I think I'm going to put a blue in there. I'm going to try doing this with my dominant hand. I should try another brush. Let me try this brush. It might work better.




So I mean even if you've done this lots of times, it doesn't mean it's going to come out. You can't cry, you just have to try it again. That circle I kind of like. I know this is terrible but there is DNA in some of my paintings. Nobody will but this one if they see this video. I like those too but I'm not crazy about this one. I need to wet that. I think I'll have it go through here but not go over that. I think that looks ok. It kind of follows that line up here. Maybe have it just start come out right here. Maybe this line should just come out here. I think I'm going to make this Manganese Blue and then carve into the circles. It's the final things I like the most but it takes time and you have to think about them. That looks infinitely better.
So now what I want to do is use my nail, I have to use my third finger. I usually use my thumb. I'm carving in some circles with my non dominant fingernail. And even though I don't like non even numbers it needs it right here. I'll take a little alcohol and it will be easier to do, I couldn't get the whole thing. You see what I mean it just takes time going back and forth. I think I could live with this. I really like it.
