Off to the physical therapist today as well as a lot of last minute errands before leaving tomorrow. Plan on doing some sketching and a lot of photography. Also am going to look for collage material for my new projects.
Planning on a few new larger landscape collages. Want to use a larger size paper, verticle instead of horizontal. This will prove to be difficult since I do not have the space to do a verticle piece on my work table. So I will have to do this in stages rearranging the studio as I go.
I want try some more varied techniques with more graphite and some watercolor resist and other masking fluids. And since the Art community is lumping Acrylic in with watercolor and labeling it Water Media, I no longer have to worry about constraints on my watercolor collage that have held me back up to this point. Since they do not accept my work I guess I am free to do what ever I want. I am not trying to stir the pot so to speak, but like McDonald's old motto I want it my way
It will now be water media and collage. I will continue to use ink and colored pencil as well as wax pastel. I reall want to work in more of my way of doing things instead of the prefered way of doing things. I am more concerned with the texture and design rather than the elements of the realism. I want also to convey the feeling of landscape without necessarily doing a landscape.
A was pointed out to me in graduate school. the colors of a region figure greatlty in the actural construction of the landscape. I need to invest more research inyto the colors of Texas and the southwest I also need to find out if there is a actural color preference for this region.
