Blackouts and the logistics of art
Most of this week has been about the logistics of art. Sorting out a test space, writing lists of the bits and pieces I need to purchase, nutting out the steps to execute a work, drawing things to scale on my laptop and more.
I also made time for a few more “blackout drawings”. I’m really enjoying the way the paint behaves on the paper surface. The glossy magazine pages are less absorbent than uncoated paper and yet still provide a nice degree of resistance to the brush.
In this latest batch, I’m thinking some of the drawings may benefit from being worked over with a different colour and a thinner brush – something else to add to my lists of things to do.
