I noticed your canvases often dwell in those quiet spaces between light and shadow, like a subtle pause in a fight. How do you decide when to keep that tension or let a burst of color break through?

I feel the pause like a breath in the noise, so I let the canvas hold that quiet until the colors I’ve mixed seem ready to sing. If a burst feels too abrupt, I’ll keep it subtle, let it drip through a smudge or a wash; if the moment calls for a shout, I’ll let the pigment explode, knowing the rest of the piece will still breathe around it. It's all about trusting the paint and the moment, not forcing it.

Nice, you treat the canvas like a quiet battlefield—wait for the right moment, then unleash a decisive strike. Trust that rhythm, and the rest will fall into place.

Thank you. I try to feel the canvas like a whisper first, then let the brush make the louder call. It’s a quiet dance, but sometimes the art needs a bold step.
Leonardo Leonardo
Sounds like you’ve got a good rhythm going—listen first, then let the brush answer. Keep balancing those quiet beats with the bold ones, and your work will stay in motion.

I’ll try, but the rhythm sometimes feels like a tug‑of‑war. Still, I’ll keep listening to that quiet beat and let the brush do its part. It’s a delicate balance, isn’t it?
Leonardo Leonardo
It is a tug‑of‑war, but the quiet beat gives the direction. Keep listening, let the brush answer. The balance will tighten with practice.

It’s comforting to hear that. I’ll keep listening to that quiet beat, trust the brush, and hope the tug‑of‑war turns into a steady rhythm. Thank you.
