RAINBOW BUBBLE~ Phase 2.

Intending to send, in a while, photo just taken of phase 2. of painting in progress.  Sharing the process with this description, (i wasn't always so methodical).

The elements of drawing, simplified, consist of:
1. CONTOUR OUTLINE.
2.LIGHT SOURCE/SHADOWS.
3. SURFACE TEXTURE.
Drawing phases into painting when the same is applied using paint.  Firstly with careful and even transparent washes, and when dry (acrylic dries fast) with additional layers of denser pigment, with special attention to the tone ( light or dark) as much as the colour.
In this painting, an over all pale wash of sunny sap green across the land.  In winter i use brown, but this is summer and everything is made up of leaves.
Sun's angle is from high on the left, so shadows fall to the right and below all forms, with denser mix of the one colour, green.  The image is now three dimensional in its 2nd phase.
A kind of magic really, with no multiple colour mixing as yet.
Phase 3. which could go all the way to completion and fine-tuning, will be to amplify each area in layers of thicker and denser paint substance with attention to the interrelating of all forms, with both colour, deeper shade/highlights, and characteristic surface texture.
It's now like sculpture (especially if you look 'into' it in depth with one eye so you don't register it as flat). 'Make it REAL.'
So, there's just one succinct 'procedural' drawing and painting pill which works for any subject, free of charge for the whole planet.  MAY IT GO VIRAL*.
So, just when i'm in the flow, i'm almost out of white paint (a most essential medium), and it's Wednesday and the art shop is closed, and it's raining, and a neighbour is coming to fix my dripping tap.
At least i have a photo of a wash of green and the thirsty garden is wet with rain and the lupin towers are leaning like Pisa with the weight of water.
Long live the fertility of creativity and applied imagination!
With grove and latitude,
Rainbowmaker.
