painting in progress II
been working very hard, little disruption except a bbq down at the allotments, purchasing more tropical fish…..
but despite that i was able to cram in some quality painting time and work on the current painting…
the next stages:
I was asked a question recently about the wat in which I paint – why don’t you paint the background first rather than painting around the black? Well the short answer is because I like to create different marks on the surface, by painting around the black outlines I can get more definition and change the depth of paint. Also, by underpainting selected parts of the canvas I can increase or decrease the depth of tones. Well there you, reply was are you mad?!!!
after the cobalt blue layer has been painted
the first base layer of the intended colour
is applied
aplogies for poor picture quality
bottle of red!!
