--- This painting was an experiment in a really different approach to painting than I usually take. I limited myself to one layer and started laying down opposite colors and light/dark values until something started to "emerge" from it. I refined and refined until I worked it up into something I was happy with. It was weird working without reference or a base sketch, but I found it REALLY liberating to just put everything on one layer and just PAINT instead of manage layers and try to get them to all "play nice" together visually. I'm definitely doing another using this method soon, it was just so much fun! Photoshop CS3, ~4 hours |
