Hi Everyone,
Starting a new piece can be a bit like traveling
to someplace new without a map – you may know
a little about where you’re going, but without directions
it will take you longer than it should to arrive.
With that in mind, when I begin a painting, I
find the best thing to do is to be bold. So if I have
a panel covered in dark paint, I’ll then place some
light shapes over it. The contrast in value will
help direct me where to go next.

Leave a comment and let me know what you think!
When you begin a painting, what do you do to
help determine your next mark?
In gratitude, Nicholas
