It has been harder than I expected to start painting on canvas again, kind of feeling my way around. I had an idea though to get back into it. I will be starting drawing sessions, getting right back to basics. I can draw and I did draw for years so I am fairly confident this will help kick start my new painting work. Drawing is great because you can focus in a whole different way than working from photos. Photos are fine and can help define shapes but you lose the eyes ability to focus in and draw out details. That is what I reckon I am missing and I need raw material to work from. I won’t be drawing in a totally representational way, I still want to bring in relationships between things that are not there but imagined into the mix. I hope this gets the ball rolling because I need to get back into painting.
