Paint Bully
"You do not want dabs of colour [on your palette] you want plenty of paint to paint with.”
John Singer Sargent 1856 - 1925
And so indeed I do. It’s no good fiddling about with thin smears of the stuff. I need to get a lot of paint on the panel, then start pushing it around.
This fine when the panel is relatively small [1000mm x 1000mm] but when they get bigger – for the standing figures, for instance, it’s hard to get enough paint on and to be able to get around the panel with the brushes.
The dynamics of the colours change as the quantities get bigger. What works with small amounts of paint doesn’t always work with large amounts.
It’s a steep learning curve.
