Painting Transformations are fascinating, aren’t they?

I’m always amazed with the whole process of developing a painting from a blank page. Last week I decided to try something new, video. OK, so I’ve done video before, but not like this.

But creating a painting in Progress video, of all the stages of painting, has been a challenge. I’ve not figured out how to light the masking fluid stage yet, so I decided to start with the first painting phase.

Even in the space of a week I’ve learned a lot.

Like, it works better if you turn the phone sideways, lighting makes a world of difference. So, here are my first, clumsy forays into the murky world of video.
