Paint you can smudge, add colors, and blend if you cross a line - Light as a medium, is less forgiving.

Every movement is tracked precisely, and getting any recognizeable form is difficult. At the end of a blindly illustrated 5 - 7 minute exposure, you either have an image that works, or a luminous tangle with the disjointed parts of what you've intended.
