... a habit that some artists might relate to. I like to start a painting off in a mess and then try to harness and control the thing. Robert Genn 2004
I was just reading The Painters key newsletter Ordering Chaos and it just seemed to jump out at me.
Starting out messy and putting things in order. Just what I am doing, although I don't always get the "order" part.
Today I literally played with my tissue paper. Format was heavy watercolor paper with gesso. Wanted to see how this medium worked with layering the tissue paper. Had a LOT of fun and liked what came out. Thought of adding paint to them but I think I'll leave them alone for the time being.
The yellow did not photograph well it is much brighter.
