How do you do that? It’s a question that artists hear a lot when others look at their work. It seems there’s a bit of mystery around the art of putting brush to paper or canvas – especially if it’s not part of your own experience. Sometimes a bit of show and tell is the best way to shed some light on the answer to that question.
To that end, I’m sharing a time lapse video of a recent sketch – Autumn On The Doorstep– that I created in the studio. The piece took about 45 minutes to draw and paint. But through the magic of time lapse editing, I’ve shortened it down to just 5 minutes.
A voice-over narration describes a few of the tools and supplies as well as some of the choices made as the work evolved.
I hope you enjoy tagging along for the ride.

Thanks so much, Rhonda, for the kind words and encouragement. I am hoping to do more videos in the months ahead. It was fun putting this one together. Cheers, Patricia
