Not worried about stroke marks...<\/p><\/div>\n

Here’s an E-mail I got from an artist struggling with Paint Pen Strokes: I’m painting on a skimboard with your paint pens. \u00a0How can you avoid “stroke marks” ? \u00a0When painting on the board you can see each individual stroke line also making marks between colors. \u00a0It’s not noticeable from a distance but up close looks bad. \u00a0Thank you – Joe<\/em><\/p>\n

Joe, the stroke marks are actually a good thing – I use the stroke marks to my advantage. \u00a0They help me create flow and depth and direction, as well as creating curve or flow in one direction or another. \u00a0You can work with the stroke marks to create a better painting, rather than try to avoid them. \u00a0It takes some practice and experimentation at first. \u00a0I go into great detail on this in my DVD – if you don’t already have it, check it out!<\/a><\/p>\n

One other thought on stroke marks – just like pencil marks, I tend to like having my paintings look less than perfect. \u00a0When I went to the Rick Griffen<\/a> exhibit in Laguna Beach a few years ago, I really enjoyed looking at his originals that had not only imperfect pencil marks, but also some of his sketches and paintings had areas that were whited out! \u00a0It made the art so much more real to me, and I keep that in mind when I’m painting my own pieces.<\/p>\n
