Hmm... This layering malarkey is quite long winded, isn't it?
Ah well... the final result will tell me whether it was worth it.
Meanwhile, this is layer 3...
This the final layer before the application of colour, which - yes, you guessed it - will go on in layers of firstly opaque colour and then transparent layers over the top! Yaaaaaawn...
I haven't quite decided, how much of this technique will go in to future paintings...
Oh well, time will tell :0)
Anyway - in case you missed it, you can see layer 1 here and layer 2 here.
Speaking of layers, I pondered the other day, on just how many 'me's' there are!
I mean, I am impatient by nature - and yet, here I am, practicing the longest possible technique of painting there is!
...and the 'usual me' who paints like this...
There's the me who sketches like this...
And the me who sketches like that...
Then there's the 'mostly me' who writes like this...
And the me who sketches like that...
Then there's the 'mostly me' who writes like this...
...The 'sketchy me' who writes like this....
...and the 'fancy me who writes like that...
And I have two signatures too!
My arty one....
... and my every day signature...
(too tricky to paint with a brush, if I'm honest ;0)
But I mean, who ever heard of an Artist with two signatures???
Hmm... and what's with the HUGE 'Y's? I hear you ask...
Well, I've always believed that if you ask BIG questions, you might just get a BIG answer! ;0)
Sometimes I confuse myself as to which 'me' I actually am!
Perhaps it's all part of being a Gemini... or maybe this is just a typical characteristic of a creative person.
Anyway - I apologize for this gibberish, hogwash of a post!
But before I go, tell me - are there many 'you's' to you?
...Or are you just the one?
:0)
