DQ - Dymaniq

discovering a new method

I decided to start over again from scratch. Letting go has been a great journey of discovery. I’d like to share some of my discoveries and new techniques. You can see on these pages a new style and method, with more vivid colours. Painting quickly, with abandon and using a ‘tetrad’ of colours for my pallet. With the new method I mostly paint on paper rather than canvas. Often making multiples of the same painting at the same time. Painting quickly with acrylics on cheap paper gave me the freedom to experiment. I didn’t need to be precious or afraid to mess up, when making five of the same – just one needed to be good. I was able to let go and relax. I spent more time experimenting in just a couple of weeks than I did in many years. It felt like fun and loosing the idea that 1 of 5 needed to be good, I found sometimes that 5 of 5 were good. I thought I’d call it a ‘Dynamiq method’ for the time being.

Looking for a working title
for this method of painting I chose to go with ‘dynamiq’ for the time being. And in short DQ.
