And here’s the companion piece to Salvador Dali, painted in parallel.

It follows pretty well the same method, the only three differences being pretty self evident:

• masking fluid spatters out to the right of the right of the face rather than paint spatters
• the tasche had to be reserved in places, rather than the highlights in the eyes
• and, most important of all, this one’s been negatively painted, with paint going down wherever the Notanizer app was telling me to leave whites

This means, of course, that all 24 colours get an equal opportunity to shine over these two paintings because (at least in theory) the shapes I’ve painted in the two paintings should fit together like jigsaw pieces to give a set of 24 identical squares.

This one’s OK and worth putting up for sale. It’s less immediately clear that this is a portrait of Salvador Dali but nobody ever said that looking at abstract art should be easy.
