I struggle with backgrounds and often spend much more time on that than on the subject, How do you approach that.

I have not seen all of the stream.. will later:) I was curious if you mix a string of colors? It seems to be on your palette but they are very dark.

Cornelia, your workshops were the best and it is such a blessing to find you here. Can you speak to the idea of when you know when to stop, particularly if the goal is to be more loose and yet accurate. Your work is brilliant and your teaching amazing! And you and Stephen are a powerhouse of creativity and generosity! Wishing you the best!

are you afraid to pain with oils due to the toxicity and such? or do you have some methods to prevent the risk? like not using solvents, or maybe some alternatives?

Can I oil paint without solvents as I have no ventilation.

There is an instructor that does, but not found here. Would like to see one here, or know if one here is doing that. The other searched out paints of needed consistencies and quality. Clean up, I used a towel to wipe excess, than a brush cleaner, called The Masters Brush Cleaner - good stuff.

Hello Cornelia! Thanks for the wonderful class. Question: do you think it's better to start a portrait directly with paint? Or is starting it with charcoal a valid method? I've been told that starting with a drawing can cause a stuck brushstroke, without spontaneity. I would like to hear your opinion on this.

How do you decide what detail should just be approximated rather than captured? The texture of the fabric in this portrait, for example.

​I'm an acrylic artist but I want to learn oil painting. Do you have any suggestions for how I can start?

Can you talk a bit about blending vs explicitly not blending. Color tiling, I think it’s called?

I struggle with colour theory a lot. I struggle with making the exact same colour that I see on the reference. How do I improve it?

Hello cornelia!! Love your work and many of them have such a softness. I wonder if you could give any tips on handling pressure especially in graphite. Thank you..
