A sketch mapping out zones of color for a future composition. Assign pigments and paint by number. Aesthetics and logic should not be in opposition of one another.

I'm approaching one of those moments where the work I have put in can 'succeed' in a balanced, 'finished' composition, or it can all fall apart back into an open undefined place. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54a1a9fee4b0894648d2c6c9/1427141963878-UCC4BSCXK8UQ3WEX7MC7/image-asset.jpeg Wet Paint - Getting there...
