My second painting done and my thoughts so far are;
- It is good to be not fighting against the medium (smooth graduations in acrylic are not as suitable as oil paint).
- I would like to make my own choices about colour rather than following what the camera produces.
- I will still use photography as part of the process and I will adapt my photographs to a simplified pared down image.
- Faster painting I think will suit my temperment, but not too fast, I think a week is about right for me.
- I will possibly keep up with the more illusionistic paintings but am looking to see how I can simplify them.
