Layers of Non-Commitment

Layers.
Heap on the materials.
Anything can be covered up.
Nothing is a mistake. 
Maybe even years later you would want to change the way it looks.
Nothing has to be permanent.
This is good for the artist, fleeting for art...you just might be moved, or covered up.

Is this lack of commitment.  Or is it a feel good approach so that people don't get too serious?  I tell my young students to not be too attached, too concerned about each mark, too anything about what they make.  The process is just as important as the product.  


Sometimes I think that I tell people to just make a mark, to make a mark.  The very act of putting some kind of mark on the canvas sets in motion an energy to create. 

So heap it on...don't be too serious.
Make a commitment to not make a commitment....see what happens.
