Peter Hobden

I am a painter. I am enchanted to be a painter. I discovered painting late, after more than 20 years as a computer developer and project manager.
This is a journal of my painting as it unfolds including differents stages in the painting process from sketch to finished painting.

Grand Canal - Session 1 - Up a few sizes

I think I needed to do a bigger painting, judging by my enjoyment putting a first coat on this one. The physical difference is striking. Movements start at the shoulder instead of the wrist. There is a certain tension that builds up with smaller paintings.
