I start by choosing all the colours that the paint manufacturers provide. I lay the respective pots of paint out on my work table, grouping them together according to a possible palette of colours:
I establish a scale among the colours that I intend to use first and their opposite colours, not in the optical sense or as a chromatic circle, but by subjective, intuitive associations. When I am working I sometimes can’t stop until I reach a determined ‘moment’. Then I have to stop looking for a certain time, and when I look again it may be that it isn’t working. I have to intervene again. sometimes when it isn’t right, and one doesn’t know why, one has to risk and try a different colour, for example. But it might turn out worse. But that worse is always better, because when something isn’t right it can’t be, it can’t exist.
