more an orchestra

The days of difficult painting have to be endured as all the marks are important, they all add to the depth and history of the picture. It isn’t a formula, this painting lark, it isn’t just about putting this colour here and there we are.

It is more like conducting the orchestra [I imagine]. All the colours do their job, they all have their notes and parts to play. But the painting is the whole containing all the colours and this is what has to be conducted, to bring out the light.
