7: 3-3-1 –April 2011; Acrylic on paper 15’’X22’’

The project was the 3-3-1 project: three lines, three days, one painting. The lines came from any chosen figure study. After day one, I was unsatisfied with the piece. Day two I decided to glob on as much paint as possible, hiding the previous day’s work. I realized that this not only looked sloppy, but also would seriously warp the paper. So, I began to scrape off the paint with a plastic pallet knife in all directions. I found the newly discovered technique to be effective, so I continued to glob on paint in other areas and scrape it off, discovering new textures with each movement.
