I’ve been writing out some thoughts in notepad. Hopefully, it’ll help me focus my attention a bit and get me ready to work on a piece.
“process 2
i’m thinking about how to make a painting
scultpting it like it was 3d
i’m just writing things out because i’m coming off watching videos and playing a game
transitioning at the moment to something more productive, i guess
i’m also pretty hungry
i want to start a new painting
building the structure up with some lines
getting things placed and sorted
then blocking things in
nice and heavy
thick paint
use the palette knife
put it in fast
move quickly
large arm movements
use a lot of paint
a lot more than i have been lately
like when i was first painting 10 years ago
i need to change the way i paint
i don’t like the way i do things currently
i’m too precious with the paint
i keep feeling and thinking i need to do it more traditionally
like how i’ve been learning and practicing it as of recently
from the class and workshops i’ve been taking
but i should just use those bits to supplement what i’ve already been doing all along
just use it sparingly with the rest of the way i do things
and build some nuance in the colors and values
but do it faster
broader strokes
i want things to be messier”
