This ink and watercolor painting was a result of experimentation with a fan brush. The marks were made from dipping the brush in ink, and letting it skip lightly over the paper. I had no intention of making a landscape, or even a painting. It was just for fun-to see what would be there. That’s an important point; I did not imagine what would happen, giving myself room to pre-judge, I just jumped in. Which is why experimentation works, you don’t know what you will get. Often I go looking for x, and I can’t find it, but I find y instead. And y may be just what I need. Go make stuff without thinking too much about it. Go waste paint, go waste paper, enjoy.
