RE: "Passing the point of Remission" Original artwork
great work! I don't count my hours, simply because I leave stuff sitting around unfinished and just tinker around with it from time to time; except maybe smaller pieces, but I got unfinished large stuff sitting for years sometimes.
btw: I do just about everything without planning - that is the fun of painting, a trip into the unknown!

Thank you! It means a lot from a man like you!
I started counting how much time is spend on working on my stuff cause I'm recording my when working digitally. If I remember to After I watch it, to figure out if I can do something faster the next time.
How much I love that word... Tinkering, yeah! I tinker around my stuff all the time. Sometimes when I look at my old sketches that I'm thinking are craI i see great concepts that i could not see back when i was working on them and i end up redoing them.
The dude that showed me how to use photoshop showed me the two main methods for writing and drawing. The first is called the method of the architect- Planning everything before you start writing or painting changes the pipeline. The second is the method of the gardener- start working from scratch and following the flow. All my life I was doing the gardener method. I want to try to do the method of the architect. It's less chaotic and you can rethink the concept that you're going for... Maybe it will be boring... I don't know. :D Going to apply it on my next work.
Thank you for the resteem!
I love Chaos - it is the spiritual thing to eventually bring order to chaos, so I always start chaotic - making marks, because a empty space is to me horrendous: Horror Vacui
I don't want to turn a comment section about your painting into a self-promotion, so this is just for you: I even named one of my sporadic charcoal drawings Horror Vacui - except this one is really chaotic!
About clocking time: ages ago my ex once clocked me on a painting, about 18x24 inches, and it added up to 92 hours. She did this just to prove that I was neglecting her, lol!
I have that fear too! It's a strange thing... Now I know how to define it. The thing that I'm Planning is a bit similar to what you showed, a bit more realism related...surreal i think. My camera is not around but here is an image to give you an idea where i'm going
The plan is to get the whole canvas covered with 3 figures like the one on the picture all expressing different things...
18x24 inches... That's a large piece! She has no idea what is going on in your mind... :D + 1 reason to be an Ex... I have a similar problem with my friends. They call me all the time to go out... And when i finally do, we spend like... 30 minutes talking about why I avoid them... You know my pain :D
I incorporate more and more "tricks" into my work to shorten the time I spend on it, to make time for social interactions. But once my nose is to the grindstone, there is no stopping or interrupting me.
The grindstone is a true love! The tricks are like weapons the more, the better! I'm trying to limit my social interactions cause once i go out... :D i'm not coming home for a long time :D
