Bathroom Series #2

This painting has the same overall palette as Bathroom Series 1.

I do use some pretty cool tools for this. My favorite tool when doing these are definitive the silicon wedges, but I'm also using some large palette knives.

  • Liquitex #10 Large Palette Knife
  • Princeton Art & Brush W-06 Catalyst Silicone Wedge Tool, White

Lets start with the paint colors:

  • Mars Black
  • Titanium White
  • Cobalt Blue Hue
  • Cadmium Yellow Deep Hue
  • Hooker's Green Hue Permanent
  • Bright Aqua Green
  • Brilliant Yellow Green

Some of my paintings you'll find are geometric swatches. I don't know if that's a real term, but its what I'm going to call it for all intents and purposes.  Typically when creating these I go with the flow and just keep painting. Whatever happens, I just keep painting.

There's a concept in literature criticism called stream of consciousness. Its mostly a form of narration where the all thoughts and feelings are just freely expressed without edits.  Some writers use this approach too, and its sometimes called free-writing.  I've tried this method in the past when I had writers block. You basically keep writing, writing anything that comes to mind.  If you get stuck you just write that word over and over until a new idea comes to mind, but you don't stop. when they are writing or if they have writers block to force through it.


So, the idea behind this painting is to just keep painting anything that feels right and not necessarily edit, but instead, build on top.

I hope you enjoy the video below and feel free to purchase prints at ArtPal.  I'm looking into selling originals so, if you're interested drop me an email and we'll make it happen.
