I love it when the world drops away and it's just you and your painting. It's as if time stands still. It doesn't happen as often as I would like but relaxing and banishing fear certainly helps.
Great vid...it was weird, I'm a perfectionist so I do have fear when starting a painting. One night when I was painting, and literally I was not thinking about nothing, the painting just generally flowed together than if I was actually thinking, it was weird I blocked everything out and just did my thing, it was weird.
thank you i use oils and sometimes i find myself being a little scared as i progress as to not ruin it but the best paintings i paint are when im jus confident in every stroke i make
very insightful its nice to hear from an accomplished artist, and you are very thoughtful, Id like to hear what else inspires you and how you approach a painting concept
I like your story, about the patience and decision making. I struggle so much with this. I get an idea and I immediately want to put paint on my canvas. I rush my beginning process so I can get to "the fun part". Often when I do this, I will finish and be in happy with my work. I would have fewer paintings hiding in my closet if I learned the simple patience and discipline of making decisions carefully before painting. And I also enjoyed your tip on the molding paste for acrylic. I have been us
I know what you mean Spitharoo. Getting rid of that irritating, invisible critic is part of learning to paint successfully. Thanks for your comments everyone!
I always seem to be in a rush to finish a painting. It's as if I feel someone looking over my shoulder waiting to see the end of it. I'm going to make a conscious effort to relax and slow down.
Very informative, thanks,... My fear always lies with the sky, the start point, and I end up mudding it around until I convince myself that it's my form of aerial perspective (ha,ha) so I don't disturb the heavy, chunky stuff I'm about to lay down for the main subject matter. In the end it generally fools the novice eye but when I stand back it looks like a nice full and rich painting with a thin, flat sky and I go into a depression. Any ideas?
Thanks a lot Brad, i paint faster than i think that's why i've ruined some of the most beautiful paintings i did. Your thoughts are very right, thank you for sharing.
I mainly paint with fast drying Griffin Alkyd Oils from Winsor & Newton to maintain the texture of my impasto style and benefit from the relatively fast drying nature of thepaint. I've steered clear of acrylic for impasto for the reason you've stated that they flatten on drying. I may well pick my acrylics up again now after you're advise on moulding paste. Thanks for taking the time to give such useful insights.
