While painting with watercolor I’ve found out its not wise to trust the pigment while on your palate (or in my case glass plate). To see if the color I mixed is right for what I need I’ll often take a dap or two on a scrap piece of paper. This allows me to see what the pigment will really look like when it dries. When the night is done I’ll end up with a whole stack of scrap paper full of my unconscious brush strokes. Feeling bad throwing away all that paper I decided one night to draw right on them. I use the shapes of the brush stroke plus my imagination to dictate what it will turn up. Totally an Abstract children’s book style all the while paying homage and borrowing vernacular from everything you can imagine under the sun. I would one day like to really do something with this type of paintings. Perhaps a book full of millions of these? More on the way soon!
