#26 / Asperges de Provence
I started out with a square
canvas sat on my easel this morning, primed and with the mid tone I painted on
it last Friday, but the subject went better in a rectangular canvas so I
painted over an old unwanted still life (of mine) instead of using the square
one. It’s an interesting exercise trying to create a new painting over an old
one, to fight past what is already there and find your way by marks, lines and
colours to the new painting. The results can sometimes be interesting with
parts of the canvas still showing some areas of the previous painting. Although
it may not be what you were expecting as a finished piece, it sometimes works
well enough to leave it showing through.
