Creative Processing

I'm working on a series of mixed media paintings using fiber paste as the substrate. This is my first study - and the canvas size is small - 8" x 10". I'm gradually going bigger (next painting is 12" x 16"), keeping with the landscape composition and rough texture.

This painting is several layers of paint - (over nine). The black horizon line is Japanese paper I purchased in Tokyo. I'm trying to loosen up my process by layering the paints slowly...letting the paint dry before I apply the next layer. By going bigger, I am exploring new ways to approach my art. The different perspective gets me out of my comfort zone.

I'm excited to partake on this journey! Vicki
