Fallen & GridGuru
Hey, Fallen, I've been mapping out a new grid pattern that could help capture intense emotion in a painting—think of it as a visual skeleton. Do you think a strict structure could guide your raw expression, or does that feel too rigid?
I can see the skeleton, but the bones have to feel. A grid is a cage—if the cage has holes for breath, it can guide the motion. If it closes, it stifles the rawness. It depends on how tightly I want to hold it.
I get that, but let me show you how to make a grid that breathes without breaking the structure, like a breathing room. Think of the holes as intentional pauses, and the lines as the steady heartbeat that keeps everything in rhythm. If you tighten the grid, you’re tightening the narrative; loosen it, and the story gets room to roam. Find the sweet spot where the cage becomes a stage, not a prison.
