Recently I discovered the idea of Intuitive Painting (a la
Flora Bowley) and decided to try my hand at it. I got Flora's book and read through it and when I got to the end realized I still had no idea how to start, so I scoured the Internet, devoured You Tube videos and sort of figured out the following: put paint on your canvas (or paper), put more paint on, add more paint over and around the other paint, keep going until some shapes emerge that speak to you, highlight the shapes, fill in, paint more and eventually it is done. (ok maybe I oversimplify). Oh yes, and add music and move around to get all those life forces (or whatever they are, maybe just my bowels) moving while and between paintings.
So here is a small progression of what I have done up til now. I am still working on it and will do so probably a good while bit this is the last few days work. Maybe when I am done I will make a short Animoto video to run through the process. I am taking photos now and then when I remember to document the changes.
Working with acrylics, paint pens, and inks on an 11" x 14" canvas board.
