This work was done on a Linen Board - a good support for experimental work. The intention was to concentrate on textures through applying with different tools a variety of media. These included traditional media such as charcoal, acrylic, and binders - impasto and gel, and 'found' media such as paper, string, bamboo, birch bark and bristles. I also introduced glazes with small amounts of acrlylic paint to unify the surface when needed. The early stages were random acts not too focussed on composition. At a certain point the purpose was to make a composition. I chose not to divide the picture plane into distant areas, but rather to create a surface piece which would have interest in it's textures and colour.
Drying time with Meg on guard.
