For many years I was so faithful to watercolour, it was my true and only. In the last couple of years, though, I tried more materials than in a whole decade before that. I started with acrylic paint and oil, then there were printing experiments, and now I went on to pencils, crayons, pastels and even gauche. Yes, gauche, that I painted with last time when I was maybe 6 years old š
What can I say? New materials a very liberating. Itās like moving to a new place where no one knows you and starting all over again. And itās easy to make mistakes, youāve never done that before, itās okay to mess up.
Plus, stuff like oil pastels are good for quick sketches, so if I donāt have many hours, and lately I cannot find time for a proper painting session, sketching with some dry materials is quick and not too dirty.
These small (a4) random sketches Iāve accumulated since Christmas. I wonāt call them āfinished worksā, but I like some elements and maybe will use some parts in digital projects or print as posters, havenāt decided yet. But l like this abundance and variety, Iāve been missing it since corona startedĀ š
