One of the really difficult parts about cleaning out my studio is figuring out what to do with all those bits of experiments that I’d like to develop further. A few cases in point:
Mixed neutrals, c. 2010Some color and painting studies. Judging by the use of the term “sequestration”, I’m guessing these were done October 2013.Some lettering for a few birthday cards. I guess these didn’t make the final cut. September 2013. Note the same colors as the previous bit, bearing out my date guess for that one.I think this was from 2010 as part of a series of logo marks. Further details are lost in the mists of time, but I seem recall something about mixing Jet Black gouache and sumi ink. Still, I like the liveliness of the lines.Walnut ink on drawing paper. Looks like I was probably processing what we had worked on in Rachel Yallop’s class at Legacies II conference in 2014.
And finally, in case you were wondering whether I’m still doing daily alphabets …
Coicoro brush pen on Strathmore Drawing 300 paper, 11″ x 14″.
