I've been working on this painting for a few months now.
It's always the same, I start off quickly, not knowing what it will be.
This is the thing I love the most about painting, I don't have to be in control or organised.
But as the painting progresses and things start to emerge, the painting slows down.
It's a bit like playing chess, and the next move has to be more considered.
This is one of the largest paintings I have done and I've really enjoyed chucking the paint around on this one!

I love it. Never having painted anything in my life, I'm intrigued by the artistic process as you describe it.
ReplyDeleteThe deer has a wonderful quality of stillness and calm, yet he's fully alert and curious too. Just as he should be! xxx
