I officially started painting my final AbEx painting today. My smaller practice paintings varied significantly in style, so I wasn’t exactly sure how I wanted to start. I got the idea to listen to the same song over and over while I paint so that I could “paint” the song, but I didn’t have any headphones today. I took that as an omen and decided to instead start with a thin, splotchy layer of the red house paint. I also mixed in some of the gloss medium with it. I want to continue using vertical and horizontal strokes in my subsequent layers, but I will explore different textures. I hoping to achieve a sense of optical illusion in my final piece, something that is aesthetically pleasing and full of depth, although I’m not yet exactly sure how I will go about achieving this goal.
