Just wanted to share a little something I’ve been working with in the studio.
It’s a super fast, kind of surprising way to shift a painting from bold to subtle. I’ve been using pastels and thick paint in a way that’s giving me some really beautiful results.
It’s one of those approaches you wouldn’t normally think to try… but once you see what happens, it makes perfect sense.
I walk you through it in today’s Sunday Bloom.
Let me know what you think in the comments—and if it sparks any ideas for your own work.
Hope you’re having a great Sunday and getting into the studio to make some art.
Thanks so much,
– Nicholas
