Transparency.
I absolutely love how marks change when they overlap each other. Looking at this now and I'm thinking how to use some of the same marks again. The tire track type mark just asks to be used again. Hoping that printing will keep the same feeling.
A circle and a couple dots.
Lot's of dots. Speedy little dots blowing in the wind.
Prepping the surface of a sheet of Yupo. Not knowing where this is going — the heat helps sorta. The first surface application dries so quickly that a second application tears away some of the previous application. This is how it starts. The unexpected already. Conditions are taking control of my art-making.
Surprise. Surprise.
Stepping backing into less.
A quiet drawing for a quiet and restful day. The first time I look at these off the iPhone is amazing. It's a trip to see what happens when they are like when freed from the confines of te phone screen. So looking forward to printing them out.
This was as big a surprise as the last drawing.
Surprised myself.
Trying new marks. More scribbling. I love drawing loops and unruly circles.
I like what happened here.
Wandering around in experimentation. A few new forms for the marks too. I love to scribble.
Making the little dots inspired me. I actually started with the little and then created the larger more transparent ones. I made a decision along the way that the build up in density would be most of the color change.
It is restful — like paddling through a pond of water lilies.
Just working on layers and repetition. These are made by tapping. each dot is a tap and I adjust color and transparency. These do not vary in size for many reasons, not the least which is it's faster.
I like it.
Testing a bit of transparency here. I was hoping for a bit more purple. Oh well. Drawing a few box shapes. I've always loved creating a false edge. Allowing some of the craziness to spill out.
Testing the waters.
Stepping away from the spirgraph and into a transition to the next real experiment. This is a quiet piece. Repetitive yes but dark. A bit of a dip into my constellation drawings.
It's fun. Mostly it's making something on the way to something else.
