I have been trying to play around more. I haven't liked everything I've made, but it's been fun and I learn a lot.
Here I was playing with black gesso, wondering if it would scratch off like tempera paint does. I colored the paper and then painted it black. Scratching the surface didn't work that well. I had to press too hard and the color came off too. So I just played around with making marks and coloring in with cow markers (messy, but fun).
In the one below, I started with the circles in the bottom right corner which are actually traced from a basket pulled off an old ski pole (I am somewhat troubled by the fact that I am being rewarded for being a hoarder of weird stuff now--Look at this cool shape, I can use it in art!). Lots of fun letting loose with this one in terms of color and marks. Then the woman emerged. Then I noticed that these two pieces have a similar theme of a female figure in front of a circle. Very different feelings to them though.
