The mask is off
Learning to work with interruptions is an art in itself! I’ve had a ton of distractions while working on this little piece. I managed to get a few hours to remove the masking and start building some detail. I’m building form in some places in others I’m deciding how to get some interesting contrast — where to push a light against a dark and vice versa.
So many decisions are made while actually painting. I plan ahead a little and pretend I have a plan but it only serves to give me confidence to start a painting session. Most decisions are made intuitively while painting without a lot of thought! Not all of them work out but the best choices are the ones that flow onto the board — so I jump in an hope for the best.
