Obviously, my attempt at that lovely grass did not come off well using a fan brush. I think that may have more to do with my inexperience with the brush then the brush is fault! I do seem to recall, though that there is another kind of brush that’s supposed to work for painting grass, and I think it might have worked better. But I don’t have one! :-) Suggestions are appreciated. As to what happened with the grass, I think the fan brush created more of a fun missed effect as opposed to individual grass stocks, and thus ended up making the squash in yellows and very pale yellows just mud against the black background. I played around with it a little to see if I could rescue it, but I’m not surethat it was very successfully done. I certainly would hope I could do better.

Starting on the first of January the goal is to create a mini painting every day for 30 days. these paintings can be any subject but must be no larger than 3x5in I ask that you guys post what you paint, whether you believe it to be good or bad don't worry if you miss a day here and there just aim for 1 small painting a day
