truth and lies

Too many conscious marks and the piece is flat. Too many chaotic marks and the piece lacks definition. As ever it’s about striking a balance between the two.

The work must just come out, burst forth, in sheer, unstoppable, heart-stopping panic. Then rely on learnt skills and experience to define it.

It must be an impossible-to-resist-the-urge-to-do-it piece. Not a planned-with-HB-pencils-on-white-paper-over-a-cup-of-coffee-and-a-custard-cream piece.
