The research visit to Milton Keynes last weekend provided me with plenty of material. There are lots of practicalities to deal with before beginning the process of painting.
Last week I ordered paints, mediums and five 5ft x 5ft canvases. I also rearranged the studio ready to accommodate the canvases. I tend to work on more than one piece at a time often moving the paintings around to develop relationships between the pieces. I’ve now got two working spaces and a place to stack the other three canvases vertically; this will allow me to look at 3 pieces at a time.
On Friday I started some large preparatory drawings (about 2 thirds scale) – it was good to make a physical start on the creative process of filtering the stimulus I’d gathered.
The paint order was due to arrive but by 5 o’clock there was no sign of a delivery. On calling the supplier I was told that the parcel had been delivered and signed for at 9.30am! Hopefully I’ll find out where the paints have actually been delivered – and get them back to the studio on Monday.
