The well known dialogue from the movie Shrek goes:
Shrek: Ogres are like onions.
Donkey: They stink?
Shrek: Yes. No.
Donkey: Oh, they make you cry.
Shrek: No.
Donkey: Oh, you leave em out in the sun, they get all brown, start sproutin’ little white hairs.
Shrek: No. Layers. Onions have layers. Ogres have layers. Onions have layers. You get it? We both have layers.
The truth is that not only Ogres and onions have layers, also paintings. Working with layers is for me the way to achieve in painting the result I wish.
I captured my painting process and put it in short film. WATCH IT
