welcome to the last part of my three-part abstract painting series. Last time I left you with a question: what’s the hardest thing for an artist to do? My answer is to trust in your own vision, even when you’ve studied composition, values, and shapes and still wonder, “is it right?”
In this video I talk about how to admire other artists without trying to become them, the questions I ask myself when a painting is finished but needs something, and a Zen saying I live by: “hasten slowly.” Then we go back to the painting we’ve been following for the whole series, and I show you the small decisions that took it from okay to one of the best paintings I’ve done, including the moments I doubted myself along the way.
