I recently worked on another architectural piece
using Tracey Everly’s approach
of “destroying” it during the process.
“The Pink House”
12 x 16 oil
After I laid in the initial shapes in the appropriate values and colors,
I took a brayer and ran it over the entire piece.
I think the act of “destroying” the work at a certain point
in the process adds interest and texture,
and prevents it from becoming too predictable and overworked.
It helps you “let go” of any pre-conceived ideas
and allows the piece to tell you where to take it.
