Working on my trip-tic painting this week has been a learning process to say the least. When planning how I was going to paint, I hadn’t thought about how tedious it might be to do one painting at a time, going layer by layer. It requires pulling out one painting and doing a layer with the colour I’ve mixed, then pulling out the next and doing the same, making sure the colours match by the end. I also have to make sure that the paintings are blending with one another at the seam, so when I finished the sky layer on all three paintings, I laid them out all together and blended the seams. Even having a single painting out is a challenge, though—with the canvases being 36x36 inches, changing between them and putting them on an easel is a process. It’s been fun regardless, as I’ve been using a big sponge brush to do the sky throughout, not focusing too much on details yet. Next week I’m adding clouds, and I’m curious to see how consistent I can make them look, since I’ll actually be drawing objects that require consistent technique. I’m excited to see how everything will come together when the clouds are added—the trip-tic will really start looking like a unified painting.
