Softscapes are paintings that I use very light touches of the brush to the painting surface and also leave some of the white of the painting surface showing through. The result is what appears to be sort of an older aged painting with a fine art appearance.
Softscapes is a term that I made up and quite honestly most of the scenes that I paint in this softscape manner are also "mindscapes" - that is to say the scene is a conglomeration of scenes I have seen and scenes in my mind. I combine these scenes into what I term a mindscape.
I use a "dry brush" technique for most of my paintings which means the brush is never more than just barely damp - not wet but damp. Most of my paintings are done "alla prima" -- In One Sitting. I paint very quickly and the average time I spend on a painting is 1 1/2 hours to 15 minutes depending of size and complexity.
