The subtractive approach.... For me it's a new way to start a landscape painting.
I began this painting with transparent paint on a white canvas - covering most of it with broad strokes using a large brush.
I very roughly added in some values - but no forms show at all yet.
And then, I began to subtract - in very general ways.
Finally, a landscape idea is beginning to emerge ... but only beginning!
The underpainting is done. I'm most concerned about values at this stage - I want the under structure to be composed where values link together. It's not quite a notan expression, but almost!
Next steps will add color ~ and the landscape will continue to emerge.
