A glimpse into starting a painting!
I love to start on a large painting and really slosh on the paint. I also prefer to work on wood, plywood is great; if it’s off the beach like this piece it’s even better. It already has some softened edges and it’s been banged up a bit. This works well for my style of mixed media painting.
When I create on new wood panels I usually go through a process of distressing them a bit first so that they feel good to me.
I share some of these techniques in my new course “Creative Sovereignty”. We use a visual journal to explore many of the same processes and practices that I use to create my larger art work.
Class is currently in session and I have been getting so many comments like this one:
