About this pieceSleepy head: This piece is just kind of dreamy and lunar. I was enjoying to the heavy blacks and greys like the night sky, and then a heavy black line to create the drawing of a face, emerging from the heavy gases of dreamland.
This piece has already undergone the framing process by the artist himself, and is only sold with the frame.
In this series I am approaching many sheets of heavy, high quality, cotton paper in phases. To mimic fabric dye, I am using watercolor paint to stain and practice mark making on heavy weight cotton watercolor paper. The spills and layers are an exploration of decisions in building images with technique and purpose. The goal was to extract a portrait from each sheet after applying blocking material, washing with pigments, patterns, spills, marks, cuts, and chaotic backgrounds. I wanted to show the strength and intrigue of a painted figurative bust.
