This is one of a new series of drawings called soundings.
The individual drawings do not have names yet — I'm still spending time with them discovering their true identity. They are on luscious Rives BFK White 22 x 30. The blue field is 6.5 x 14 matte. I've used different grades of graphite for the grids and the dots are white drafting ink. I'll be showing several in April, details to come.
Some playful repetition and transparency.
I really haven't made these marks in my works on paper. They are new in these experiments. I have been experimenting with these marks in a number of these iPhone drawings. Testing the feeling of the marks and techniques I would like to try to replicate in larger drawings with big drawing implements.
This one is very earthy feeling.
I may make some efforts in this direction in the studio soon.
Surprise.
This time I actually used a paint fill after I had drawn some pencil marks. That created some surprising white areas. I decided to keep them and make a couple additional graphite-like marks.
I'm thinking of exploring these more in the iPhone drawings but at the same time I'm looking for ways I could create these kind of artifacts in my analog drawings.
It's also good to just leave the drawing alone.
