I just spent an hour tidying the mess I left behind last week. Chucked out a load of old palettes, rags, and detritus that's been building up on the studio floor. It is more organised, even if it doesn't look it.
And now, a bit of chalky whiteness on the latest secret painting. Fixative spray, then leave the loft and the fumes...
I was looking for some plaster-of-paris, but instead I came across a big tin full of old tubes of oil paint. Bonus! It's okay, I found the plaster-of-paris shortly after. Mixed it up and slathered it onto the canvas I began last week. I already have ideas for the neon that will emanate from the crevice, but for now I must wait for the plaster to dry.
After an extended lunch (curse you internet!), I pay the top secret painting some more attention. White oil paint to build up the glow, I patch up the areas that need a little extra, then go over the parts that have become a bit dirty from all that chalking earlier on.
And finally, some more werk at the old "rock face" (or "The Path of Least Resistance 3 (pink)" as it should probably be known). And then I finish early, I have a gig to go to...
