A ‘slow’ painting with about 20 hours of work invested. “Daddy’s Objects” by Ginger Dean , oil on linen 20 x 20 in

Assignment:  Paint two (2) pictures of the same subject.  The first painting will take NO more than 2 hours – no exceptions and you must complete the painting. If you need to attempt the ‘fast’ painting several times, that’s OK.  The other painting of the exact same subject should take between 5-15 hours (OK, more if you need).

 A few objectives for this assignment:

• Develop both loose and refined styles of painting .
• Recognize how much time you invest in your paintings.  Keep record of the hours.
• Learn how a ‘fast’ painting can be a study for a “slower” painting.
