Some of my best exploration comes from my teaching demos. Not always the demos themselves, but the paintings afterwards. If I am teaching a technique, I tend to keep the demo pretty straightforward. This serves the purpose of teaching the process, but then I have a painting that I can play around with afterwards that I have no strong attachment to.
I demonstrated a technique on how to use a reductive process in layers. I discussed this process in a previous post that you can view here: A Reductive Process in Layers.
I love using my technique demos as a springboard for experimentation. It has been one of the ways I have learned to let go and have some fun with the process.
