Back in 2023, I documented the making of a painting called Love Dogs. Created for an art fair in Brussels, Belgium, I shared every stage of the process in video format, taking viewers along as I explored the painting—even while figuring out what it truly meant. From the initial doodles and poster studies, to priming the canvas, creating the cartoon, transferring it to the ébauche stage, and finally building up the finished layers, every step was part of the journey.
The project spans five episodes, totaling about five hours of content, with my voice guiding you through the process. An accompanying PDF provides timed intervals so you can read along as you watch. As well as material lists.
Here are some outtakes from that video that never made the final cut. I thought they were fun and give a sense of what it was like to be carried along on this project with me.
