Mixed MEdia

I'm pretty sure I'm a mixed media type of artist.  I love being able to throw random colours somewhere and hope they interact ok.  I've learned some lessons but most of all this:  your surface matters the most.


This attempt started out awesome, as long as I stayed committed to markers.  Never stayed committed to one media before, can't understand why I would have that kind of random commitment now.

So I tempted myself and used colour pencils, then ink, then gouache.  By then I knew I was in too deep.  Lesson learned. 

So back to clean pencil lines. Boundaries and barriers on another surface.  But before then, some food a quick nap and a giggle.

He was right...this is gonna take awhile.
