Today I did a search on Roberto De Matta on youtube and found some things useful
in my artistic journey.
- To trust the process. Meaning Let the journey unfold, don't get hung up or
too critical. Trust the follow through.
-Let the work evolve. Let the painting have a start, a middle and and
end. The way it looks at the beginning doesn't have to be the way it
looks at the end. Changes can be made.
- Painting can be more than representations of the outer world, but also of
the inner world and about the painting itself. Matta used good color
schemes and designs in his paintings that would hang well on walls but where
not about common subject matter.
-Think about going larger and letting it happen.
-Adjust as you go, don’t let an idea hang till next time. Deal with it
asap and maybe you can elaborate later.
-allow for some areas of the work to develop slowly. Don't close the
door too soon if your not ok with the area just yet. Leave it alone and
come back later
- I notice an artist that comes in with and color and pushes on some areas
then black and white, then another color.
