From paint to painting 6th June 2021 Chris Jessop The skin from an old tin of oil-based paint:I thought it had “potential”.So I carefully cut round it,eased it from the tin and,having scraped the still liquid paintoff the underside, set it to one sideon a sheet of art card. I painted the card surrounding the paint skinwith a very dark yacht bluerecovered from the wreck ofthe sailing cruiser Captain Fantastic(a story for another day!). The finished article,having added chiaroscuro with artist’s oil white:Blue Moon.I originally thought I might add some stars…not needed!
