Paint Or Draw

That is the question. I did painting yesterday and it was my first landscape. One of my favorite artists is David Dunlop. He has a T.V. show and approaches painting in the style of the Impressionists. I tried to do that myself and fell a bit short. One of the lessons David Dunlop teaches is that the more paint you put on the canvas, the less light you have. Because the white of the paper acts as light. I'm still learning these things. I see it too when I'm working with colored pencils. I might do some drawing later on instead. One or the other.
