So today I started with gestures again. I felt I needed to get into that mindset again. After doing all these one minute gestures, I just started to see things quicker and apply it faster. I felt that I had to paint my subject as soon as my eyes experienced it. For example: When I look at a bird, the first initial second gives me the overall gesture. So I paint the gesture line. Then I look again and in another second, I see the next bit of information. So I put that down and it continues till time runs out.
I then decided to explore my painting method once I was in this mindset . My goal here is to start with the gesture and then create a full-value painting with that one dark color while still maintaining the overall gesture. The time limit here is 5mins.
And then just because I was impatient, I tried a ten minute. I learned that I need to look into my line and brush stroke confidence.
