Recently I was quizzed about how many paintings I've completed lately since I've stated 'I'm off painting.' Guess the phrase should have been "I'm off building art!"
Painting is more than just putting a brush in paint and onto paper. It is a process. A comparison to the building industry could be made.
Preliminary property sale: Obtain subject photographs (unless plein aire).
Architect: Composition has to be thought out.
Blueprints: Drawings can give general boundaries.
Building supplies: Paper, brushes, paints, frames, glass or plexi, etc.
Construction framing: Value studies must be done in order to get lights and darks.
Construction installation of cabinets, lights, etc: Color studies start to bring future painting to life.
Construction flooring instillation: Everything is now tied together, a final painting can be created.
Final property walk-through: Have the painting critiqued by peers!
