The white, blank canvas is intimidating. What do I se there? Where to begin? For canvas #4 I decided to get rid of the white canvas and just splashed lots of paint around (paint that was leftover from other paintings on the go).

There done. Now its a colourful canvas. Still no idea of where I was heading. So the next part in the process? Hello gesso! I started to block out areas and voila I found him … lurking in the painting … waiting to be created.

I have stepped back a bit at this point and done some digital work to the image to help me see where I am headed:

I still have some sketching to do before I can see if I am heading in the right direction but I’m loving the ability to work digitally at this point … let’s see what happens next!
