A little bit of an experiment today. I was working too fast on this painting and not caring about the drawing. That was a mistake. Then I ended up seeing how it would work out if I scraped it all off and worked back into it again.
What I do like about it is the “Sfumato“. It has an interesting dream like quality and something I could really use in my future paintings. I’ll have to continue to play with the technique.
The other thing I did was blur out the reference. That was a mistake. I was trying to get technology to do the translation for me. But I’ve found that my entire purpose for painting is that translation process. This is MY PURPOSE as an artist. To look at something and filter it through my brain, my experiences, my everything and paint what comes out on the other end. I’ll begin to move away from using tech to help me.
