This group of 9 acrylic on hemp paintings each measure 18”x24”. 

AB_CD Series grouping

While trying to continue with chromatic intent and material usage discovery, this series called on me to develop some more atmosphere in attempts to better tie things together. My dirty paint water cup is becoming my best friend as a base for thin “knock down” washes. I’m looking to continue this series past these first 9 and might really start to get into surface texture a bit more.  If that is the case it would be required to adhere the hemp canvas to panels instead of the classic stretched versions shown here.  I do very much enjoy this new exchange that is occurring with a rough textured surface that receives a mix of acrylic paint, archival pigmented drawing materials, and graphite.
