In this one, I used a little more glaze. I tend to use flat brushes with natural bristles, which leave the stroke behind and aren't as great for blending as round brushes. But I tend to like a strong stroke. I also like that I have a sense of control that I don't get with soft-bristled brushes.
One thing that fascinates me about abstract painting is that the good ones look like everything on the canvas was meant to be there. And yet, there's a feeling of improvisation. I don't think I achieved that with this painting, but I do think I learned more about blending and how to make the brush strokes work for me, more so than the first painting I did. Progress.
