Easter Egg Painting -Time-Lapse Video

Artist: Bart Carels

Description

This painting developed in an unexpected way. With Easter around the corner, I started painting an egg I boiled that morning. As I progressed, I decided for a change I did not want to paint the real-life background. So, I started to experiment.

I thought about the colors that would work well together and wanted to keep part of the bright orange background. I like blue with orange and I think it goes well with the yellow of the egg as well. So, blue it was. You can clearly see in the video that I did not have very clear idea of what the artwork should end up looking like. I kept changing and trying things and eventually it became a very vibrant and expressive piece. Almost like a can of paint splattered onto the wall behind the egg.
