Espresso Maker Study

 

Espresso Maker Study

A while back, I had an idea to try doing a painting with zero corrections. No matter what the composition; put down a stroke and leave it without wiping, painting over, or correcting in any way. Maybe that sounds easy but trust me, it's not.  And it's even harder to post something with zero corrections. 

Coincidentally, although I have a strong desire to paint, I'm also having trouble finding the time and energy to do it. So, this is the perfect time to try some no correction paintings! 

I used three colors: Venetian Red, cadmium yellow light, and blue-black, plus white. It took less than half an hour to paint. I say this a lot, but hopefully that's not obvious in a bad way. I want to do more of these and post them, so if you happen to be looking at this blog for the first time, just know that this is an experiment and please scroll down a little further. I actually kind of like it, though.

  1. The amazing thing is it's just 3 colors. I don't do much of anything,but whatever I do, it gets done over 3-4 times

  2. Haha - I'm usually the same, but it was nice just to let the mistakes happen and not worry for a change.
