Beth Mastin
Biographical Info Beth’s Painting Process Most of my paintings begin with a general idea and a limited palette. While I paint with exacting attention to what I am seeing, I tend to paint in an improvisational manner, often in short bursts. Some paintings are completed in one sitting, while others are revisited or become a series over the course of months. I favor line and movement over depth in composition. Perhaps this reflects my early interest in Scandinavian textiles, flavoring my work with a somewhat decorative quality. Being in the Flow Painting is the most direct route to flow, a state when I am completely focused on seeing, perceiving and painting. In the flow, time falls away as one brush stroke leads to the next. Add water and pigment to paper, and watch what happens. That’s flow. Try to control what happens. That’s practice and mastery. Try letting go of what happens. That’s being in the flow.
