watch the videoMy newest video is a sped-up version of the creation of my painting 'Vacation' - a process that took about an hour and a half condensed into ten minutes. When you watch it, keep in mind that it's a method of adding and subtracting the paint, starting with a medium value of burnt sienna and umber painted over a white surface. You'll see the darker areas are done with applied paint (with a tad of black and white), yet the light areas are done by dipping the brush in thinner and 'pulling' the color out to reveal the original white surface of the board. It's totally unpredictable and a good exercise in control. Great fun.
So please click here to the YouTube page, go grab a cup of coffee while it's loading and it'll be ready to go. Don't forget to turn up the volume and groove to the bossa nova by Stan Getz & Astrud Gilberto. If you listen carefully, there was a thunderstorm going on while I was painting. Hope you enjoy it.
