Painting Out LOUD!
/I Paint Out Loud! Bold colors, expressive brushwork, large shapes, very little detail and large canvases. I attack the painting (before it has a chance to attack me) and let it know who's boss. I take control as soon as I get a new canvas by adding a coat of thick gesso in the same manner that I apply paint. This marks the canvas with my hand and forms a nice underlying texture for my painting.
I use large amounts of thick acrylic paint and large brushes (3-4 inches wide) to apply paint to the canvas. I work quickly and spontaneously before my analytical mind has a chance to catch-up and interfere with my progress. Analysis happens only after spontaneity is exhausted.
