BALLERINAS
Do you always aim to "be fast and spontaneous when you are painting"? How fast did you take to complete one piece of oil painting art (from start to finish)?
I’m very fast and impulsive when painting - that process should be reflected in the painting. Usually, it takes me about a week to complete a portrait painting, with short sessions each day - I paint in layers, so I have to wait for a layer to dry before moving on with the next one. So I usually paint on 2 or 3 canvases at the same time, with short sessions each day, and try to finish the pieces within 3 to 5 days. For the Ballerina Series, the process is much faster - usually I paint an entire series in one single session, which takes me around 5 to 7 uninterrupted hours to complete.
