I did today's painting in transparent washes, wet into wet, with three primary colors, magenta, prussian blue and permanent yellow.
As I progressed from one block to the next, I began to see the painting as a whole. So, instead of accepting each little arrangement on its own terms, I did a final overall retouching to balance the entire composition.
It still reminds me of a Hawaiian shirt fabric, so perhaps it's time to get out the silkscreens and do some yardage!
