| Step one, Simple mass drawing. Not just objects but light and dark masses. |
So for quite a long time now I have heard "do another video demo!" "blah blah" " Blah etc blah". Well I'm not doing another one of those til I learn the soft ware well enough to make it the way I think it should be done (or hire Martin Scorsese) so til then.. here is a progression shot demo of "Recession" 30x30". one of my favorite pieces done in the last year. My paintings have changed over the years and one of the best things about that is not having a set way of attack. By that i mean if you try to achieve a goal thru different means you will probably end up with different results. If you are trying to learn and grow then taking a different path is the only way to get there. where ever the hell "there" is.. There is nothing wrong with the hard road, it's still a good option.

| Step two: Massing, massing massing.. oh massing how i love you.. |
 |
guess i got caught up and forgot to take an in between photo..
anyway, dividing the masses up, trying to not break apart the value structure or distract from the "Big Picture".
If you are gonna place a brushstroke/mark that breaks up a mass, make sure its worth it and is paying rent for the real estate its taking up.. |

Don't Judge me..
