I know all about planning for a painting involving thumbnail sketches, value patterns, and colour organization. Sometimes however, it feels great to just "push the paint around". This happens when inspiration is on holiday, or you are tired, or sometimes even when you are feeling "frisky" and adventurous. This approach is based on the philosophy that if you don't know what to do, you just start painting and occasionally something happens. At the very least you have loosened up to proceed with another painting, or you just simply have had fun.
This small acrylic painting is one of those pushing efforts. This is the first time I have used Iridescent Bright Gold by Liquitex and I liked the subtle sheen it provided. What do you think? Back to the drawing board?
