ABSTRACT

This painting started as a result of my curiosity for trying new artistic approaches. I was planning to do a painting derived from an abstract composition. Usually I would start a new image with a clear vision of what I wanted to do in terms of subject matter, mood, color palette and so on. This one started much more vaguely, with spontaneous brush marks and very little idea of where I would be going with the piece as it progressed. This is an interesting yet risky approach, and something that may need to be reserved for personal works. I’m going to write a bit about my thought processes and how I approach a digital painting in general.
