Painting and drawing and then drawing with scissors

3 Comments

I have been trying to formulate a new series of artwork in my head.  I rarely write down what my plan is.  The intention was to do some beautiful drawings on an abstract black and white background  (well at least I would have attempted to do beautiful drawings).  I just fell in love with the brush strokes and the mixing of black and white on the paper so much that I isolated what I saw with scissors.  I may rethink what I am going to do but I still would like to combine the drawing with the cutouts.  I have no idea how yet but I will try.

The apple painting was from a while ago but I thought I would share.  I have been teaching still life painting workshops to a few students and we seem to always do apples and the spotty bowl which is always a pleasing combination.
