Vicki Sullivan asked about edges so I dedicated the second half to this demo on edge treatment. The first portion is how I think of my palette mentally going "beyond the palette" or off the edge...

We will continue with the Natural Approach series next week.

This was a great demonstration and explanation of how to create interesting edges. I also appreciated seeing you use Oleogel and painting over white panel to achieve higher chroma....been wondering why it's been elusive... Your teaching is most helpful

Thanks Ellen. Another advantage to a lighter ground is if and when the painting goes transparent over time, colors appear bright instead of showing the darker ground underneath

This was most helpful -- both parts. I appreciate seeing how the chroma stays brighter on the panel when thinned out with oil/oleogel as contrasted with the immediate opacity that kicks in the moment a high-chroma pure color is gradated out with white. I've never before consciousness realized this difference although I may have sensed it in practice. That distinction, as well as the difference between an optically softened edge vs. a physically softened one, then tuning-into how you are increasing or lessening brush pressure, turning to the edge of the brush vs. squishing the bristles, and the really sharp-edge work of a palette knife, all to shape edges . . . so helpful. I'm looking forward to watching my practice shift from being less aware of both these aspects to being more aware -- trusting it will make a difference. Thank you so much.

That was a great lesson on edges. If possible please talk about shape designing in your next video. As a beginner one faces great difficulty in designing organic shapes in paint.
