Sketch. Paint. Scratch.

Inspired by a gallery show I "discovered" clayboards. Over some time I have completed some pieces that I have yet to really document. Here are most but not All.

The process is organic to say the least. I tend to start with a sketch for an idea of texture and composition of pattern and figure. This usually gets almost completely dismissed/ discarded when I start to paint. At which point it tends to go in a similar direction in a very different way. Eventually I will find some brush strokes, some figures, something/ anything that will clue me in on what to scratch into the piece. It eventually comes to some conclusion when I feel like it may be enough, or until my hand aches and near a week has past or more.

The Results.
