Thanks again for sharing your process with us, Harry. I always find your blogs inspiring. I continue to work towards a carefree and intimate art practice that produces lively and authentic paintings, but certainly do find it challenging at times to not get wrapped up in over-painting things! I will head into the studio and practice!
Thanks for another wisdom packed newsletter! Your description of diving in and keeping things abstract all along the way was brilliant! It’s keeping in that mode until the end where I struggle. As things progress and start becoming forms I recognize I get all nervous and flip back into “I know what this is” brain and it is then when things start to fall apart. Staying focused on seeing shapes, color, lines and marks in an abstract manner really requires resetting myself many times! Also your comments on overpainting and describing are so on point!
Thank you for sharing your process, Harry! Very inspiring and the finished painting is beautiful!

Thanks do much for posting your process here Harry. There’s so much information and so very interesting. Thanks!
Harry, I love this post. Fantastic finished painting, very much enjoyed your sharing your process. Thanks!
Thank you. I do imagine it’s fine with the acrylic base and varnish. I also really like using thin paper so just wondered what it was.
I’m curious what kind of thin paper you’re using. It looks like newsprint. Is it archival or maybe not?
