A long time ago, I promised I would paint in pink.
My palette has been so murky for so long, it was positively shocking to use pigment straight from the tube.
I've been diluting the paint with turpenoid to do these block-y color washes. No canvas is being spared.
With the paint so thin, they dry quickly and I've been able to do lots of layers one right after the other.They're all evolving dramatically, good practice in not staying too attached to any one layer. Except this one... I'm too attached.
It's terrible -- the ones I like too much, I unintentionally stifle by protecting them.
But it's good, too, to see that. To work in batches, and evaluate which ones are successful and why. Often it's the ones I don't like that change the most and pull ahead in the end. Not that I have any idea where the end is.
To the process! To color!
