this painting is has more of me in it and I am enjoying the marks I have created.
I am thinking about grounds and how they affect the work maybe abstract expressionist liked to start with a ground colour because they were 'painting the space rather than painting in the space' However, I don't think this particularly resonates with me- I think I will paint with off white ground but not colour grounds as they haven't been working for me. I feel like I am making too many assumptions about the painting before it has even began? and I feel rushed to cover it up and fill the whole space when sometimes I prefer my marks to have space to breath
