Session

@needapencil called me the other day and asked me if i'd like to come and hang out, paint a wall. I didn't need long to decide. On a very beautiful sunny day, I came over a couple of towns away to paint. The location was astounding and had all these kids inspired to skate, do tricks and also seemed curious about the painting. They also had inquisitive young parents that would inquire on the legality and learning curve of painting with spray paint. Parents that were quite open minded to let their kids paint seems to be a more common phenomenon nowadays. Specially at a place at which it's legal to paint walls.

I always wish i'd make it out of my house earlier, as it was one of those days when it gets dark early and I only arrived at 15.00. By the time I started, time started flying too.

Since a few years I practice a habit of sketching on a wall instead of on a paper to then reference from. More recently I seem to be getting more confident at that, even though the results aren't as pleasing as I expect. The outcome being the process of learning to paint with little or no reference, the operation in itself seems to give more satisfaction than the result. After all, it can be more rewarding to attempt rather than to achieve when your intention really is learning.

The Process

@needapencil borrowed me some grey wall paint, which made things a bit easier.

The surface of the wall was endearing and painting on it reminded me of the excitement I used to have when I started painting.

At first, I thought that was it. Just a few letters. But since I planed a character, I wanted to go back and paint it.

I came back there the next day and took literally just a few min to make a character.

I also decided to hang out there a few days later, when some friends of mine were painting and borrowed some black paint form them.

I used my left overs for a quick hive logo, changing the style slightly.

“.... the world is made entirely from quantum fields. These fields do not live in spacetime; they live, so to speak, one on top of the other: fields on fields. The space and time that we perceive in large scale are our blurred and approximate image of one of these quantum fields: the gravitational field (193).”
