Wallflower (Blue), 2019
One of four experimental paintings I used as the focus of my first series of videos on YouTube. (View the video here.)
At the time I was frustrated that I didn’t have a set methodology for approaching my paintings, so I decided to paint the same image several times over with different painting and inking techniques in order to achieve a good apples to apples comparison.
This version was painted in blue India ink with just a splash of watercolor added as the final step.
