No. 56: Painting with...er...paint!


Well I couldn't do a colour themed week without using paint at some point. The camera is all about capturing light to create an image just as artist covert's pigment to do the same. Way back before the box brownie, pin hole cameras and phosphorus flash our cavemen cousins were catching every day life using their fingers in God-knows-what for pigment. It could be argued that painting has a more direct link to the person creating the picture, (Eye-to-brain-to hand with brush), but still both mediums hold a fixed and important position in the world of art.

Still if it's colour and depth you want, you cant beat the stuff....

'til tomorrow....
