Above: a few recent color studies, all oil on paper
Limiting myself to only using a palette knife on these has been a great way to loosen up and experiment with color, without laboring over form. I'm becoming more and more interested in the imperfections that occur as a result - the scrapes, the gouges, the rough edges - and I'm curious to see how that will translate to the finished paintings.
Lots of exciting things are happening in the studio! Don't miss this Friday's opening reception for the NUDE and EXPATRIATES exhibitions at Manifest Gallery. And while you're there, stop by the MAR studios to see our progress from the past month. You can see these studies in person as well as a few brand new finished paintings!
If you're not in the area, you can check out my new MAR page on the Manifest website! And of course keep coming back here every Sunday for studio updates, process work, and random painting thoughts of the week.
