The style of painting negative spaces (everything around an object) instead of the positive objects themselves is a method I have been working on lately. It is an exciting way to paint, but requires several layers of pigment to build up a background. I found this awesome video this morning that shows negative painting in more detail than I could describe to you. Click
VIDEO to see how one artist paints negative leaf shapes. If you happen to see this box at the beginning of the video, just click the x box in the corner to remove it.
Do not click either of the blue or red buttons, because it will take you to a download site and you do not need their software to view the video!
The artist has music playing in the background and uses inserts to describe what he is doing, so you may want to review the video again to be able to read his instructions, or simply enjoy the relaxing music he selected.
