How do you start a painting? Do you have a vivid idea? Do you just start
painting and let it develope on it's own? Do you make sketches first? Just
curious...

Sketches in abstract expressionism?

Ho, this is a real novelty!
What for?

It was KNOWN that something
(that has no shape, no form,
no particular images, no coherent lines,
no outline, no meaning either)
does _not_ need any sketches or studies.

what it does _need_:
one wounded ego,
a proper mindset (alcohol and drugs help to boost
euphoria) and mood to create (even if one can't), buckets
of paint (most bright), brushes (of a broom size) and canvases
(the bigger - the better).

the rest is simple: whichever way "artist" start -
masterpieces will flow one after another...

MONEY? That is if you have a valuable signature.


...no skill no art!

Want to get away from the indecipherable imbecilities and absurd pretensions of the modern art establishment?

Hi john

Sketch If you want,
dont mind the manis of this world

It depends on how tightly you want to
stick to the "expressionist" method

I personally do stuff by sketching compositions and
then transfering to a canvas and painting

I dont know if you are an accomplished apinter
looking for a new avenue.

If you are a beginner, sketch all the time
Its the key to improving your skills
and getting imagination going

There is a book by nita leyland called
"the creative artist" and it has really good
exercises

Regards

Niall
