When I paint, I don’t normally have an idea in mind for what it will be. It starts with big swaths of paint across the canvas or paper and then we “see where it goes.” I am not sure if this one went anywhere. I don’t really know what it is and that is okay. I am good with this one.
This was a blending exercise I did from Lee Hammond’s book about painting with acrylics. Maybe it looks like the ocean or a river up close. This one I might come back to at a later time to add something to it.
I totally loved the first one coz it is similar to one of my works done more than a decade ago. And yes when I sit to paint I sit and stare at the emptiness of the blank canvas for a while. When it speaks I start painting it’s stories. It’s something only us painters understand. I totally get you!
That’s so cool! Thanks for sharing Lalitha! I am trying to “improve” my painting by learning some of the basics and other techniques
BTW Jason, what do you indulge in, acrylics, watercolours or oils?
Acrylics are my preferred painting medium
