over painting the large language forms from the legs artist relay painted poem
performance.
as a painted poem the work stands as it is. it is complete.
i chose to over paint it for a few reasons.
1 perhaps i am able to enhance the painting, make it more appealing, maybe more marketable.
2 because i want to practice a method for painting. the method i am struggling with is a method to make the pigment work. the light is a wave. ( i know it is a particle and a wave but for this application we are interested in the properties of a wavelength.)
so i am rubbing thin layers of pigment into the painting. they are thin and somewhat translucent, so the light is interacting with all the layers of paint.
3 because i enjoy painting. it is a practice of me feeding my emotions. the subject in my mind is the emotion i am hoping to elicit from the paint. from the light. it is a painting about the source of light on the creation.
i have made some videos of me doing the painting . i work fast, the sessions of applying paint last about ten min each. i completed this painting in a matter of a few hours over the course of a few days.
i think i recorded about three hrs of me working. i made two videos of the work . the videos don't really inform anyone about my materials or painting method. rather they are displays of me producing the paintings. i speeded up the video play so that 10 minutes of video played in one minute . often, there is a game show or n.b.a. game or podcast on in the background while i am painting .
i made two videos of me painting . to view them upgrade to paid or message me and i will comp you to , ‘inside onecloud studio’
