Just when I thought I’d have a day of production and progress, I wound up spending more time looking than anything. I built up the surfaces of all the negative spaces between the subjects, to the point that it’s obvious how and where the subjects no longer have mass and presence. I can easily see where surfaces don’t properly turn in space, so my work is cut out for me tomorrow. I’m reminded of all those classes where the phrase “look more, paint less” seemed to resonate like a mantra. Spend more time studying and understanding, so each mark will be introduced with eduction and insight. Articulating a negative space will demand that the positive spaces be equally addressed. Tomorrow will be an exciting day, as I’m finally starting to learn something about how to paint.
