Tracy Marshall
Mixed Media Artist
Perhaps even more difficult than painting is writing about painting......
So I thought I would try to apply a similar process ie beginning with intuitive rambling followed by a more considered editing. The experience of laying down paint with little thought just allowing the impulse to take over doesn't necessarily come naturally but once started is difficult to stop. Putting on layers of paint, sometimes collage, mark making, sanding and scraping back to reveal lower layers all add to the process of giving the piece a history & adds to the joy of creating.The enjoyment of letting the painting evolve without too much planning is a very freeing experience but once I do decide to stop then the contemplation of where the image goes next becomes a much quieter, more tentative approach. It's like taking a consciouse breath.
The CVP approach (Creative Visionary Programme - the brainchild of Nicholas Wilton) highlights the importance of differences, both in art and life, and these different approaches in making each image result in a more exciting and stimulating process.
