Do you go into your artwork with a plan and if so, then how closely do you stick to it?
You have ideas in your head, but they often come out very different to what you expect. I have a basic structure of a plan - what surface you choose to work on, what mediums you shall be applying and in what order etc but once you're on that journey you never know what might be more appealing down the line.
Sometimes a piece can completely change after months of work upon a new idea or realisation.
Something I find interesting is the effect that the drying process has on paint - fresh oil reacts very differently to day old, week old, or month old paint etc - and the interplay between these different viscosities can be really fascinating. Then you have to think about what oil medium you used to thin the paint and how much it's been worked into the surface - there are just so many variables!
You mentioned ideally, you'd have a large warehouse to work from, how do you feel about working in a smaller area and does this influence your art?
It has definitely made me appreciate what can be done on a smaller scale - but it's undeniably a limitation on the energy that I can put into larger work! There's far too much danger of ruining mine and others' work if I get all crazy with it.
