I’m working on a new piece and thought I’d let you listen in on my thinking when I see problem areas.
In parts of this painting, many things are visually tangled. Too many elements colliding are just distracting. It’s like furniture in a room that’s not placed right – it just feels wrong.
Watch here…
I try to feel my way into what needs to be corrected in a painting. It has to do with noticing tightness and tangles and relieving them with more adjustments. This works for me, but of course, problem-solving is different for everyone.
Do you have a tip on what helps you through the early stages of your work? Let me know in the comments.
The idea of decluttering relates to this week’s episode of the Art2Life Podcast. I’m talking to my friend, Andrew Mellen, about decluttering your life for more energy. He comes from a theater background and followed a thread leading to his career as a master organizer. You’ll be inspired and he’ll share some cool downloads too. Join us this Wednesday for an all new episode. Listen in on any podcast streaming service or watch the full episode on our YouTube Channel.
