Art video day

This paint keeps growing and I’m enjoying it. I’m not how much longer it will go but I feel good.

Steady making

Constant moving forward with ink and paint and madness.

Doing the wash

Tools, get it?

So as a painter, my big tools are not those but these.

I say over and over again “clean your tools” to myself at myself. I work with ink and paint and to be honest the ink destroys a lot of my brushes but I still love it.

They are my little babies and I should treat them to a pleasant wash from time to time. It’s a charming moment of the looking glass.

Honestly save your good brushes by washing them less but when I do wash them, do it well.

I have an issue of using half a soap each time I wash all my brushes. They seem to enjoy it.

The main point of all of this is that the big step in being a professional painter is wash your brushes but not to much.

Painter’s Breakfast

Hola Galeras,

Hope you are well.

Just a nice show with an idea.

Always making

Hola Galeras,

I’m good how about you? We did a little walk today and picked up groceries. It’s very foggy today but it has fun qualities. Got home and then ate breakfast and made coffee my favorite way. Nice and slow and beautiful. It’s a simple pleasure but enjoyable.

I’m getting a full image of what my painting going to be. Feels good to reconnect to that heart string.

I learn more each time.

I have this way about me that I feed off of my inner voice trying to talk me out of things. It mostly is a passive thing but some times I’m enraged by the self doubt. I cut bits of it away to see the problem and try to find solutions either on paper with paint and ink or writing it out. This painting was fighting me and then I spoke with Alec and it came to me.

The engine is parts, so paint it in parts.

I like how it is going now. I was tempted to destroy it and start something else but I’m stubborn.

Sometimes painting in the dark helps me see ways the light can’t show me.

More to come mi Gente.
