This is a small video for the oil painting “Drifting Far Away”. It was an old idea that was sitting in my head for many years, even back when I didn’t know how to paint. I used the same technique as the previous two paintings, focusing on the initial drawing at first, making a contour, then applying the paint without using any medium or linseed oil. That enabled me to work faster and not deal with excess drying time.
So, I was happy enough to be able to make it relatively close to what was imagined. Maybe the monkey wasn’t there in the initial idea. But, you can never go wrong by adding a monkey if you want to spice things up. An event, a party, a painting? Think about it..
