Dear readers,

Today no finished products!

I started on the 100/100 cm painting. I have been thinking about it for a while. This is an old canvas that I painted about 15 years ago. The one and only this big. I stretched it myself, it was quite a big deal at that time. Even though I did not like it anymore at a certain point, I could not throw it away. And now it gets a second life.

First of all I painted it over with white. You can still see through a little bit. And then I started experimenting with the fluid colours and with the Azurite blue. It all works very different on a big scale. Like to do it, but it is a huge mess in my working space, which is really small. I lie the painting flat on the ground, sometimes lifting it when I want the drops to flow.

Anoter thing is that the surface is so big, that it takes ages to dry. My hairdryer does not work fast enough!

So I decided to start with a little study on 20/20 cm (8/8 inch), with Indian Yellow, Cobalt Turquoise and Naphtol red. Also not finished. The good thing about this was that I didn’t mind so much how that one ended. It was something that I did ‘in between’: in the spare time when the paint on the other was drying. I was not ‘trying so hard’, and probably that works better if you want to try out things. I’ll post that one later when it is more finished.

So: two not unfinished things on one day…. Hm: I really have to get used to that.. I guess that’s the price of painting bigger.

Thanks for visiting! I hope you have a nice (painting) day!
