I used to get there with oils... You have those times when literally nothing
else matters ...when everything is three times as intensely coloured and when
every brushstroke just seems to be perfect and you're sort of dizzy and
the world seems just so incredibly quiet and clear ...and you come down 9
or 10 hours later and it's "still" perfect {this being the key.}
{I've done this with and without turpentine.}
I don't get that with computers either... I do get something a bit more
"technically cerebral". I turn out stuff sometimes that just amazes me and I
can just do so much more... besides... I can make things move and add sound to
them and even create the sounds themselves.
Do you ever take time just to experiment? Do you compose on computer?
