I had a false start: loaded up the brush with blue paint, put it to the canvas, smeared the paint around a bit. It was too wet to work on. Get back in your corner Morse Code painting.
That's thrown me. All my plans for the day down the drain. I wanted to continue with the blue neon...
Hung on the wall beside me is a large square canvas with a depiction of Le Corbusier's Marseille Unite d'Habitation. I look at it for a long time, until I'm brave enough to start removing the masking fluid.
Big mistake. It's lost all its impact and definition. Bugger.
Maybe if I stick some white over it and run it off with white spirit? Nope. Again? No. More? Still not. I pick out the shadows with some dark oil paint, getting better, but a long long way to go...
I'm not sure how I'm going to rectify this, but I will find a way. I turn to the 'Home Sweet Home' canvas and paint around the letters with the first proper layer of glow - Cadmium Red and Permanent Geranium.
