Be bold and begin

⚡THROWBACK THURSDAY VLOG! ⚡

Starting a new piece can be a bit like traveling to someplace new without a map – you may know a little about where you’re going, but without directions
it will take you longer than it should to arrive.

With that in mind, when I begin a painting, I find the best thing to do is to be bold. So if I have a panel covered in dark paint, I’ll then place some light shapes over it. The contrast in value will help direct me where to go next.

Leave a comment and let me know what you think!
When you begin a painting, what do you do to help determine your next mark?

In gratitude,
Nicholas
