This particular thing became apparent to me when I painted a swap gift the exact colors she said she DIDN’T want. I painted over it completely, and then restarted, and it turned out 9,512 x better. That was when I learned redo is okay, and sometimes, just keep adding layers. more, more more.
But it still helps seeing where you are. to where you arrived. Because I would have been stuck, and not known where to go. I love the whit being the top layer, with dry brush down. it’s winter snow on mountains made of northern lights. a place to get lost, for sure.
Honestly I don’t know how that happens either, one minute I was dance painting white lines across the canvas to extremely loud music and a few hours later there were mountains Once the main thing shows up I can see more of a way forward but usually my process is paint till something happens lol. Probly why they take a year to finish…
I love that you paint so organically. I have to plan it out. I wish I could be more open. I love how your painting turned out and I love seeing your journey. The mountain in the front with the purple paint drips is my favorite area of the painting. Beautifully done.
glad you were able to finish it! And it looks quite cool in the end, perfect for getting lost in meditation
