sort of interesting speculation in the berger/about looking book:
turner:
in the chapter (pg 149) on turner it stated that his father was a barber & that it is speculated that his innovative painting techniques with the palette knife & brush work may have stemmed from his experience with straightedge razor & shaving brush/soap foam. made sense to me. i have one of those brushes around somewhere that i picked up years ago to experiment with & never got to.
reading related more to art history knowledge than to my work. however, as a result of this reading i think the question to contemplate is:
what from my past/life experience (mechanically) have i incorporated into my work?
&
if not, is there any skill that could be use?
