Face Making

Artist Gwenn Seemel’s bilingual blog about all the faces she makes while painting faces and other things.

Working on many paintings at the same time

Monday 15 March 2010 - Comments / Commentaires (2)

My sweetheart helped me put together two time lapse videos of me working on a handful of paintings.


In this first one, I work mostly on the painting featured in this post about process, but I also use the colors that I mix for Hazel’s portrait on everything else I have going in the studio, turning them into a funny kind of family.  Also, David brings me a strawberry to munch on because he’s the best.


I took this time lapse soon after the first one.  When I water down the paint a lot, I work on my canvases laid out on the floor; when I leave the acrylics thicker, I paint on my own version of an easel (okay, okay, so it’s a big glass block).  The finished paintings from this video are Jeffrey’s, Ed’s, and John’s.

Claire...

This is so cool! Thank you so much for posting these videos! It’s great to see you at work! I recognized Ed’s portrait right away, even though the final version is quite different. You had already captured him at this point in the process. You’re doing amazing things in a small space!
And well done, David—always feed the artist!
