ONIONS!
Nothing more than
ONIONS!
Well, Jades onion went mouldy because she is pure filth, and I was looking at it, and I thought it was appropriate for some of the visual images that I'm using at the minute. Mould/bacteria/filth/disease/cancer... all of a similar ilk, and it made me think about how some of my earlier paintings had actually potentially and accidentally looked like onions.
THEN: Coat it with the base coat of colour I want- like in these ones Blue or Pink. That usually needs 2 or 3 bashes as well.
Then you but the 2nd colour on (that may look like I have shut my eyes and delved into a box and lucky dipped the thing, it is actually a careful process of testing and selecting) and carefully painting that on in the shape I like and feel looks good- usually needs going over 2 or 3 times as well so its nice and blocky and vibrant. In these cases, that 2nd colour is the Yellow or the Orange.
Finally, I begin the tedious task of putting on all the black outlining, which there is no quick and cheaty way to do. This consists of me, a pot of black acrylic, a paint brush that has about 3 hairs on it, and a lung full of fag breaks.
THEREFORE! Dawning on me that the layering is like an ONION!
