ThereIsNoJustice's Sketchbook

[ThereIsNoJustice]

I've been thinking lately about graphical read / hard shapes vs texture brush / gradient. Partly because of Marco Bucci's youtube vids. Partly from reading Alla Prima. Like a lot of people, I felt the temptation to cover the canvas in smooth gradients. Thinking in terms of gradients, even. This approach nerfs the shapes. Probably I should've had this realization earlier. In hindsight it's obvious. Think not of gradients but of shapes and edges. They are intrinsically connected in that the edges modify the loudness of the shapes. 

Also was convinced by the recent Rigney interview to stop posting so much. Just to see what happens. If you haven't already listened to it, I'd say check it out. There can definitely be this appealing cycle of wanting to keep posting stuff all the time and it's a distraction sometimes, with a false sense of satisfaction. I know, maybe not the best idea to spread on CD to all ten of us who are still here.
