This painting uses a technique for breaking through your creative block. Again I used a credit card and Yupo. Those two together take control out of the equation. You get what you get. And yes, it might be a hot mess. But it is organic and free-flowing. There are areas of interesting cracking and texture that are not visible in the low res image, unfortunately.
I will be trying more of these. I noticed I was relaxed while working on them. A little closer to getting in the zone.
My head isn’t in the game coach. Yesterday was two months. That could be why. Right? But really I think I have just not recovered from my weekend away. My energy level is about 3.5.
I have been busily painting. Proof below. Sunday, nine pieces. Nine horrible, awful, not even good for a start pieces. Paint overs, all. Gotta be worth a few points. That I kept on trying. Haha. Canvas, Yupo, Paper. N-A-D-A.
Tried a couple of sketches today. Mas Feas. Found more videos by Jean Lurssen, in the vein of Jean Haines. Inspiration. Played with a credit card and watercolor on Yupo. Managed to stay loose. Had fun. I’ve had fun with all the uglies. Even if they turned out yucko.
Just a couple of quick sketches. Thank you, Christine! Your sketchbook saved the day. 🙂 This was NOT the bleed proof pen, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that out.
