The Making of “Crocodile” from Heiko Windisch on Vimeo.
For this year’s Border Art Prize I decided – being a resident of the Gold Coast now – to submit a painting. The concept for “Crocodile” had been sitting in my sketch book for some time, as much as me wanting to work with a long canvas. Unfortunately, size restrictions for the Prize meant that I couldn’t use the even wider canvas I had purchased earlier, but a 36 x 12 inch frame did the job just as well. At first I had thought about making a live webcast of the painting process, but my messy work habits (with frequent breaks and making up my mind on-the-go about which pattern to use for tree bark) meant that it wouldn’t have made much sense. So here’s the edited version, sped up 64 times to save time. Hope you enjoy!
