One thousand primitives.

Description

First image in a series to come, to go back and re-train basic painting mechanics.

For the most part, these are done freehand at a middling size, you can see a shot of the original canvas here to get a good feel for it - [link]

In the end I found my emphasis to be more about putting together shapes with fewer and fewer brushstrokes, as I came to enjoy creating textured planes quite a lot. Creating super precise angles tended to increase the painting time for individual shapes by an unreasonable amount, so after I had a good feeling for the precise shape of each primitive I switched over to exploring the rendering of the general mass. : ]

About 18 hours, photoshop cs3
