HI Sly! I have to agree with you! Being a newbie myself, I find painting without masking is much more fun! Granted I am not learning how to cut frisket without cutiing the paint, but I am having fun! When you do a monochrome painting, do you do one area to completion first? I found the artical by Patrick Dodde in this months A.T. mag very helpful. I didn't realize how painting one area of a portait to completion would help with the rest of the painting. It makes sense and I was wondering if you do this when you paint?
Thanks!
Doug

thanks guys ;-)
yes i do allways work all picture at once with slowly monochrome layers..each step ist going to be darker/deeper/and later i do details and highlights.(hope i understand your question aixguy)

I found that if the angle of the brush to the surface is correct the spiders will be directed to the wet paint sometime using a mask take too long
