this is me applying some white highlights to one of the 3 canvases that i've been working on to create a stage backdrop. there truly is something so amazingly fun about standing on top of a huge canvas and painting. most people put their canvas on an easle or a table or even hang it on a wall to paint...these 3 canvases are so large that it's just easier to do most of the painting flat on the ground. however, this creates the issue of how to reach certain areas of the canvas. so walking on the canvas is actually required. for this project i've splattered and applied paint with long rollers, brushes, mops, rags, sheets, bubblewrap, foam, and anything else that will help to add color and create texture. even my sneakers have added cool prints of texture to this painting. walking on a painting is definitely a unique experience!
