Bodoni Painting :: Day 2

23May07

Finished…right? ha. I hate having formulas with paintings, but I do like to always start with a ground color. It gets rid of the start white, loosens you up a bit, and is great to show through in areas, illuminating the entire process of the painting. That’s something I always try to do as well, show in some way, every stage of the painting in the final resolution. It’s great when you can retrace the steps an artist took with a particular piece. I think it helps allow the painting to “breathe” better, less likely to overwork it.
