• I learned that even though this was a pre-gessoed canvas, I decided that I prefer the look of additional gesso which can leave thick brush strokes behind to create a nice texture to paint on. Will do that next painting.
• Liked painting small; a fun change. Took about 4, 2 hour sessions to complete this. I went slow to capture the look of the crystal ornament. Fun study. Also enjoyed the quick drying effect of acrylic for this piece that was due a few weeks after I got the invitation to submit a piece to the Repartee Gallery.
