A New Substrate Wood

I was discussing with Reuven about the possibility of painting on wood panels. I was thinking of buying but he told me to look around there are lots of reusable panels to be found. He also promised to bring me some that he had seen. So far I haven't seen any coming my way but hope that that will change.

I found a small piece of masonite and with two pieces that Reuven brought I started my journey on this new substrate.

I was quite timid because the boards had interesting and beautiful markings so I kept putting on and rubbing off.

Second Stage

Here I added some new pieces of collage but mainly did hand drawing on the substrate, and investing negative spaces.

Following Up On an Urge

Did you ever get an idea while doing other things? An idea that you would like to follow up on later and you never do. Well, this idea has been running in my head since the class on figures a couple of weeks ago.

In the middle of what I was doing, I finally decided to "follow up".
