How do you start a painting? You just "do." get some paint out, make some marks...look at a photo if you need to, but really, just get something down and the brain starts to work. Shapes become subjects, marks become symbols, layers become texture...you can't ruin a blank canvas...well, unless you literally destroy it, but stop nitpicking...
This is how "The Year I became a Liar" looked after the first stage of working...
And finished...
and for the record, I had no intention of it looking like this^ when i started on the first photo...at all
