The challenge of adopting the "making big' mindset of working from a 6"x6" paper to a 3'x4' canvas continued. To know, but not exactly knowing what I was making, I simply had to let go. "Eliza go for it!" Within half hour of quick layering some paints and gels, the ground work was done. Adding in the colors gave a first definition of the painting.
... Came back to studio the morning, the WIP I did the night before caught my eyes. It's like a girl waving at me. Bliss!
I had to move fast to transfer the impression I had in mind onto the canvas, or else I would be trapped by the textures! To opt for a balance in pictorial elements, I had to draw textures on smooth planes and smoothness on textured paints. I finally overcame the pyschological hurdle that could've dictated the subject - yay!!
