Five minute painting: forgetting about time

Five minute painting: forgetting about time

Dear readers,

Lately, I did a five minute painting. I love this process. It doesn’t take a lot of time, and it teaches me a lot about letting go, getting out of my own way, not thinking too much and just letting the painting unfold.

Halfway I had to laugh out loud, about the craziness of this process. I see myself painting like a madwoman – in the meantime making all kinds of mistakes. 

For instance: I wanted to add some transparant Quinacridone Nickel Azo Gold – but by accident, I grabbed the brush with black paint on it. But: with some white added, it became an interesting sort of greenish color (which I painted over, because it wasn’t so beautiful after all).

I painted for five minutes, and after that I wanted to give myself a second five minutes. Alas, I forget to set the timer, so I believe this second part is about 6,5 minutes long.

It’s a big difference between the first part and the second part, and I think the most important difference is that I covered a lot. By taking away a lot of the ‘noise’ the painting comes together.

Of course I could have taken this painting further, but for now, for this experiment, it’s enough for me.

This is the result of the first five minutes.

And this came out of it seven minutes later:

I created a small video about it. I’m sorry for the noise of the hairdryer. Normally I would have edited it out, but to get a feeling for the five-minute process I didn’t cut it away. Watch the video here:

Have a wonderful, creative day!

Dear reader, Today I made a painting on A4 format. I recorded the painting process, and if everything has turned out well, you can watch the video below. I actually really enjoy recording the process. It takes a bit time on beforehand (and afterward editing the video), but the extra concentration puts me even more in the flow. I don’t think, I paint ;-)! Here’s the result:

Have a beautiful day!

Dear readers,

 

Today, I continued working in a ‘surrendered mode’. See for my inspiration yesterday’s blogpost.
