“The technique will come.”

As a student I found this impossible to believe, but now I know it to be true. Whatever technique you desire comes with patient seeking, and trying different things. That is why we will not worry about technique, just concentrate on the dynamics of what makes a good painting work. Which brush to use for what, how different pigments act--all that--will accumulate in your painting vocabulary as you pick up your brush and try different things. And each time you try something it will stay in your memory for reference later. Your hand and your unconscious have their own memory, which works on its own and as quickly as lightning sometimes, when you are open and in the flow. This is not really a time to be worried about a finished product (if there ever is a time for that, really).
