The ongoing development of a painting…
This painting started off, like some others, as an experiment of sorts. I did the drawing with a black oil pastel, then thought about filling in the colours with colourful oil pastels as well but then I opted for acrylics…
Mixing mediums is not something I like and one must be very careful about mixing anything with oils as oils take long to dry…
Then I used a photograph to create a digital image in tones of black and white. However the original painting, on canvas, will be in colours and since it is “evolving” I really don’t know what the actual colours will be at the end. Now bear in mind that this is not the result of an intuitive approach but rather it is improvisation, one of the tenets of JaZzArT.
Cheers…



Looking good as it evolves.

Interesting tell here – how it comes together. But you know I like the stark B&W work.

Thank you Espie! I liked the way the digital B & W came out too, but that, being that it is digital, will always be like that regardless of how the actual painting ends up being. Cheers and all the best.

Interesting process and looking good. I look forward to seeing it progress. Extremely cold here today with high wind advisory. What happened to spring? LOL!

Thank you so much Janet. Little by little art begins to develop almost by its own will. Spring? Yes, where is it? For us it’s come with rain, yet yesterday was s beautiful and sunny day, today it started off cloudy and cold. I am very much ready for warm weather! Take good care and all the best,
Francis

I love seeing these creations as they evolve. For the uninitiated in visual arts, it is interesting to see your work in stages and through its natural progression. This is well on its way to being another masterpiece, my friend!

Thank you so much my dear friend! Yes, art develops in phases, stages, and periods of time where one has time to really get inside the work and let it flow, almost from the inside out. It is a process.
