MATTHEW'S GUTS

Autopsy of “Rainbow Wars” (20”x40” / 2011)

Part 2 of 2

Here the initial colors are laid down to start working up from.

One thing I dislike about much of the digital mediums used for film, painting, etc is that they offer too many choices.  It is easy to loose an idea when you have endless options for revision.  I do not allow myself to re-paint stuff in digital.  If I lay down a color, I then only let myself build up from there by layering.  I apply semitransparent shades of the additional color until I find something I like, the way you would with physical paint.
