The best way, or at least one way, to change the way I am thinking is action.
The Making. The white grounds which are sacrificed to the pigment. They comprise repetitive actions in which I need to take great care; yet, the decisions are bound by minimalism.
I mix rabbit skin glue 3 parts to 2 parts chalk from Champagne. I do need to have a tweezer handy for any stray hair from the Gesso brush.
I consider them my little Robert Ryman's. You can see this traditional ground does not go on very smooth so after it drys I sand it and add another coat in the opposite direction. I do this around 5 or 6 times, which gives me a really creamy surface, without being too polished.
