COLOR-MASSING TECHNIQUE © C.Berk 2001

(a brief explanation)

Color-mass painting is the exact opposite of drawing. Just because artists use brushes, doesn't mean that they're painting. However, when scrubbing with a brush, from the center moving out, an edge can be created by juxtaposing one color spot next to another.

Placing a light against a dark, a cool against a warm, vague next to defined, a contour will emerge.

Without filling in between lines, colors truly interact and the paint develops a visual life of its own...breathing undulating until each color functions to the individual artist's temperament.
