To begin a painting; an exercise
Step 1. Mix 3 to 4 generous piles of colors that you like
the way they look together. They must be
YOUR colors, not straight from the tube.
At least one must be highly chromatic, and at least one must have low
chroma. Also, two of the colors must be
relatively close in value with the third offering a marked value contrast to
the other two.
Step 2. Using one of your new colors, make a relatively
large organic shape away from the center of your canvas. Completely fill that shape in with as few marks as possible. Use plenty of paint.
Step 3. Using the same color as above, make a large, single balancing mark on the other end
of the canvas
Step 4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 with your second color, but the
shape and mark of the second color should differ in scale and shape from the
first
Step 5. Repeat Steps 2-4 with the third color.
Final Steps. Repeat
above as needed using variations of the
original colors in order to achieve balance and resolution to the
painting. Never use the exact same
color—variation possibilities are infinite! USE PLENTY OF WET, GUSHY PAINT!!!!
