Onward and Upwards
Now I’ve got the tops off the tubes of paint I must needs get the crowbar out and try to get the lid off a box of confidence.
Then set about this painting:
I’m still just fiddling about in the background, why am I so terrified of getting into the figure?
I’m wrestling with two elements: drawing and painting and just to confuse matters: drawing with paint. Drawing and painting are different states of mind, different approaches to mark making. Painting uses the light and considers planes that go to make up form, whereas drawing deals with shadow and works with lines to create shape. Drawing with paint is just fucked up, but can be used to great effect nonetheless.
