6. How do you paint without eyesight?
“Basically what I do is replace everything that the eyes would do
for a sighted artist with the sense of touch… The raised lines take
care of finding your placement on the canvas… When it comes to
handling color I typically use one of two methods. The first I used
primarily with oil paints. Because oil paints are made from
different substances they have a viscosity and texture that varies
slightly from color to color. By adding medians to the pain such as
Liquin and paint thinners I can alter the way the paint feels even
more. For example: Titanium White is very thick like toothpaste
while Ivory Black is fairly runny – more like oil. In order to mix a
gray halfway between white and black you simply mix for a texture
that is halfway between the thick and thin paints.”
