lol. You’re too kind. I’d take half that. 😉

We need a stopwatch and some thirteen year olds.

Thank you!

Thanks. I enjoy a fun art challenge. They are different, but they have enough in common, opacity in particular, that the transfer of techniques still works mostly, well, enough.

I’m working in gouache on cotton paper, small with a limited five-color primary palette (magenta, cyan, yellow, white, and black). This painting is just 4.5” (11.4 cm) across. Bob’s videos are a half hour, but he goes really fast. So I was able to complete the whole painting in about an hour.

He has 405 episodes in all. So even if I did one per day, it would take more than a year to finish them all. (I doubt I’ll be doing that, but we’ll see how far I get.) My painting set up is different from Bob’s who works with 8 colors of oil on canvas.

I did a search on “frito lay salt crystal shape” and found what you described: a hollow square pyramid. Very cool.

Wow! What an honor to be hanging over your piano! Thank you so much Isaac. I hope you enjoy looking at it as much as I have. Good timing too because we just send the files for the book to the publisher last night.

Thank you so much. Making art can be meditative.
