In other words, my sculpture studio diary pages, past and present,
can claim to be one of the world’s largest resources of the working methods of a
figurative painter and sculptor.
Decades before my diary went on-line it was jotted down, long-hand.
Here is an image and fragment of a page
from twenty-five years ago.
The message still holds good:
…Always looking dead:
a lack of colour, a lack of boldness, a timidity that wasn’t there at the
mental onset, but crept through against all my efforts to control it. Must:
paint freer, paint faster, paint more experimentally with colour. Must leave
out…must see the fundamental mass and no more than suggest detail…
