Some people are scared of the bare white canvas but I love this stage: I talk to the canvas and tell it what it is to become, visualising the colour and forms before they are laid down. I have often finished the painting in my head before I've even laid a brushstroke on the surface.
A white canvas is so exciting! The possibilities are endless at this point! Its the mid-point when all the questions and doubts arise. You seem pretty organized! Makes me want to straighten up my studio but I know within a day it would be helter skelter again! Looking at the piece behind you belies your work space!!
Some of the greatest Artist has got panic in front of New Canvas, not me, I am lucky. Painting is a Joy. How about You?
The problem comes first in finishing the painting. I hope to learn it some day ...
Compliments:
