Decalcomania-Free! Alla Prima Instead

Lil' Feet: a quick digital paint test, May 2011

Lil’ Feet is a project I did when I first loaded my new version of the software Painter in May 2011. I wanted to get the feel of the digital brushes and processes again, so I painted it directly and quickly.

No plan, no underlying decalcomania layer, I just quickly applied some digital paint with a few different brushes until I spotted something to develop and before I knew it, this surreal vista was done. Although it was casually and crudely executed, it was sufficient to make me eager to start developing more involved and complex projects, which I have been doing almost daily ever since.
