A lot of the marks I make while painting do not become entirely visible till I come to the glazing phase of working. The glaze changes the work quickly and often results in dramatic adjustments to the art. I don’t know what they might be, however till I get to this stage. I like that surprise. | Nicholas Wilton

In my work I spend way more time on the painting beneath the actual painting. This rich underpainting allows me later in the process to excavate down and introduce colors and textures back into the painting. It is sometimes hard to cover up something you might like but often the sacrifice is worth it. | Nicholas Wilton

One of my favorite parts of making art is finishing it. After all the bold moves and messy decisions, this step feels calm… almost like a quiet thank you to the work. It’s slow, easy, and lets me really take in all the layers before sealing it up. | Nicholas Wilton

Making art is the process of becoming yourself. This is why making art is so important. Now more than ever. This might be the reason we are granted this one precious life. Do you think of your art making in this way too? | Nicholas Wilton

It’s easy to over complicate art making. Really you only have 2 choices. And both will advance you. Stop and start another or push harder…risk, play and discover. Stick to these two options. Thinking you are not enough, don’t have time or are somehow not eligible is not part of either of those 2 choices. Let’s go. | Nicholas Wilton
