I wanted to create a tangled vine underbrush like what I see outside my window &#8211; a heap of pale winter berry bushes. I was using string a week or so ago for a <a title=\"Kids paint with string\" href=\"http:\/\/delightfilledart.wordpress.com\/2014\/03\/09\/kids-paint-with-string\/\">craft I did with our kids<\/a>, and decided that might work to create a different effect than my usual scratching into wet paint.<\/p>\n<p>I think I will need to do some more work on it with more neutral and varied colours to create the depth I&#8217;m going for. I was monitoring my six-year-old&#8217;s first acrylic painting attempt at the same time, so I wasn&#8217;t as focused as usual. Right now it&#8217;s looking pretty jazzy! Stay tuned for more stages.<\/p>\n<p>Painting is full of risk-taking and decision-making. I have grown a lot in managing these risks over the past ten years. I remember I used to get so frustrated or disappointed with how things turned out sometimes. Now I just let it dry, and see what I can do next time to carry the painting further. Deciding when to stop is also a delicate balance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was wondering how to advance this forest painting that I was working on in November.
