1. St Paul’s Shipwreck
A progressive painting by Bob Booth

2. It’s really important to practice putting paint on
badly.

3. The longer you can go without knowing what you are
doing the better.

4. This is not the time to start thinking.

5. Especially don’t think about the subject!

6. It’s the paint that counts.

7. Why would your motive for doing a painting
matter?

8. Meaning is intrinsic to painting.

9. Its tempting, but don’t change the rules just
because you think you know what it is.

10. St Paul’s Shipwreck. Sketch.

12. You have to be ready to lose stuff when you are
painting.

14. Probably time to leave this sketch now; but it is
when you are trying to stop that you see more
clearly what you should do! I think Elen Kats
Cherin noted something similar about the
process of composing music.

15. See how this painting develops.
