Before I start painting, I draw the image onto the canvas. I've done the mistake (many times) to draw too hard, then it might be difficult to cover the lines with color.
I thought it might be interesting to share parts of the (my) work process with you! It looks a little different depending on what I paint, but I am a fan of doing many thin layers on top of each other. Before I start painting, I draw the image onto the canvas. I've done the mistake (many times) to draw too hard, then it might be difficult to cover the lines with color. Starting on the second layer, in oil. I love how smooth the oil can be. The whole canvas is covered in a second layer. Yes, it was a girl from the beginning, put you have quite a freedom as a painter right. I just cut the ponytail ;) I named the painting after a quote of an amazing friend in Madrid: Dreams can take you anywhere. This painting has a new home now, and I hope he is sleeping well on his new wall :)
