Oddly schody

This is from a ballpoint pen sketch that I bought from a street artist in Prague, in what was then Czechoslovakia.

It is 6" x 9" done entirely with pans. It's on white Wallis "professional grade" paper. This is the first piece I have done with the pans where I used the little eyeshadow applicators. I don't like them nor do I like the dot-diddlyness of the marks I made with them. Nah.

Need to stick to the more expansive, less fussy gestures/tools.

  1. J,
    Your combination of colors on these latest works is quite astounding!! One of these days you might want to switch back over to PAINTING.

  2. Thanks! But wait a sec. "Painting" is what I thought I was doing . . . you know, using tools (or may hands) to pick up pigment and put it down on the support.
