Irwin’s description of ‘painting the painting into being’ is brilliant. It seems to me a true way to paint, no matter the subject matter, and the difficult part is, as they say, to know when to stop and then to start again when it feels right. No school I’ve heard of teaches that principle for real.
Again, Thanks, to Irwin and to PP for a perceptive article. I will permanently bookmark this to remind myself to trust my own instincts and make the next move when I can do it without overthinking, second guessing and getting scared about losing a half-good painting…
