Exploring through layering and removing those layers to show the workings. Building and breaking down subjects until some form of truth to the emotions desired or what the artist is currently channeling are conveyed. There’s rarely a set idea from the beginning, instead an idea of where to go, a composition in which one can work in and find the gold through that practice. Limiting their tools so they have to adapt within the craft knowing they will lead the artist where they want to go.
