NOTAN #2. BEAR BRASS, SOUTHBANK, MELBOURNE

This one is almost the opposite of the last post. The darks make up the majority of the canvas.

NOTAN #1. A LA PLAGE


#219

I have been wanting to paint some really large 'NOTAN' paintings for quite a while now. This image is from one of my own photos. I cropped and tweaked it until I was satisfied with the composition. I then gridded up a canvas and drew on my shapes using a charcoal pencil. I just used grey acrylic paint and left the white of the canvas untouched. It was so enjoyable to see the image gradually appear from the positive and negative shapes.......... There are more to come!

I did paint a small 7"x5" of this same subject . Post #173

I must admit that at times I find still life boring......yes I know I should be wrapped over the paint brushes for writing that. But! At the moment I am trying to paint a single object or two in a way that I hope gives it a 'personality' ......so for now........ The hunger has returned!

This painting went through a few stages! First attempt was a wipe-off and second attempt had lots of scraping back and repainting! Finally I had to tell myself to 'STOP' before I over painted it and had another wipe-off.

I'm also trying out a new app........I hope this one works!
