This was just an aimless and quick digital doodle I did in front of the television that seemed interesting enough to develope a little further. No idea what the hell is going on it it, but clearly shenanigans are involved.
I’m kind of enjoying the whole aimless direction I have been taking recently and plan to continue down that road even more. It’s very liberating not having any expectations ahead of time.
I’ll hopefully return soon with another “Organ-ick” post…I didn’t give up on them yet!
Continuing my “Organ-ick” series, I decided to go just a hair more colorful and bright this time around. I’m still using the same cheap Liquitex Basics paints, shoddy old brushes, and generic 8×10 canvas panels. I’m also working with very limited time. I’m using these restraints to try to increase my output speed and hopefully learn a few new techniques. Here is “Stuck”:
Once again, I wouldn’t by any means say I am proud of this one, and once again there are some aspects (the coloring on the upper right in particular) that surprised me. But most importantly, once again I completed yet another post!
Why hello! After facing the growing lack of productivity guilt for long enough because of yet another way-too-long absence from here, I decided to sift through the ever growing list of painting ideas in my head and completely ignore them. This was (obviously) made with absolutely no pre-planning while using a medium I have next to no experience in and the most beat-up garbage brushes I own. It was more enjoyable than it should have been – so enjoyable, in fact, that my plan is to make this a series. So, without any further ado, here is the first of hopefully many in the “Organ-ick” series:
This was made using the cheap Liquitex Basics acrylics on a cheap-ass Walmart 8×10 canvas panel (I’ll break out my good acrylics and brushes when I feel like I’ve earned them). I had no idea what I was going to paint, but felt like experimenting with abstract organic forms. Several times forms tried popping out to beg to be transformed into something recognizeable, and several times I fought the urge and instead added some hints here and there, but nothing more. I think the fun in this painting is the screaming your brain makes when trying to make sense out of it. It’s ugly, it makes no, sense. but it was fun.
