Making Messy

I'm posting today after having been back home for two days now following our vacation, a vacation that included many sweet sweet moments in its final morning—breakfast al fresco on the eastern-facing side porch; reading while sipping coffee; and getting up to my elbows in paint, stencils, collage, matte medium, and markers.

My starting point was to dive in and make messy. Grabbed a sheet of 9 x 12" drawing paper, a fat paint marker, some titanium white, a brush, and a matte knife. Messed up the page as fast as I could.


Cut the paper into four quadrants with kitchen scissors. Developed one section a fair distance, even painting up some collage paper en route. The other pieces got progressively less attention, and attention at all only because I kept off-loading lingering bits of paint from my brush as I moved through my paces.





Stay tuned …

Fun, fun, fun!love the checkerboard, the golden jewels, and the orange peel. Fresh!! Really love the texture in the first one, what are you using for that?

Thanks for your comments, Sheila. The texture in the first one: used a strip of dry wall mesh, one of the texture sheets my friend Sheila sent me, and maybe something else that I can't identify/remember.
